Precautions for SuspensionINFOID:0000000003811137
CAUTION:
• When installing rubber bushings, the final tightening must be carried out under unladen conditions
with tires on ground. Oil might shorten the life of rubber bushings. Be sure to wipe off any spilled oil.
- Unladen conditions mean that fuel, engine coolant and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools
and mats are in designated positions.
 After servicing suspension parts, be sure to check wheel alignment.
 Self-lock nuts are not reusable. Always use new ones when installing. Since new self-lock nuts are
pre-oiled, tighten as they are.

WHEEL ALIGNMENT
InspectionINFOID:0000000003813442
DESCRIPTION
Measure wheel alignment under unladen conditions.
NOTE:
“Unladen conditions” means that fuel, engine coolant, and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and
mats are in designated positions.
PRELIMINARY CHECK
Check the following:
 Tires for improper air pressure and wear
 Road wheels for runout: refer to WT-2, "
Inspection".
 Wheel bearing axial end play: refer to RAX-3, "
Inspection".
 Shock absorber operation
 Each mounting point of axle and suspension for looseness and deformation
 Each of lower link, upper link, rear suspension member, suspension arm and shock absorber for cracks,
deformation, and other damage
 Vehicle height (posture)
CAMBER
 Measure camber of both right and left wheels with a suitable alignment gauge.
 If camber is outside specified range, adjust with adjusting bolt in
lower. Refer to RSU-7, "
Adjustment".
TOE-IN
Measure toe-in by the following procedure.
WARNING:
 Always perform the following procedure on a flat surface.
 Make sure that no person is in front of vehicle before pushing it.
1. Bounce the front of vehicle up and down to stabilize the vehicle height (posture).
2. Push vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).
3. Put matching mark (A) on base line of the tread (rear side) of
both tires at the same height of hub center. These are measur-
ing points.Standard
Camber: Refer to RSU-20, "
Wheel Alignment".

4. Measure distance (A) (rear side).
5. Push vehicle slowly ahead to rotate wheels 180 degrees (1/2
turn).
NOTE:
If the wheels rotates more than 180 degrees (1/2 turn), start this
procedure again from the beginning. Do not push the vehicle
backward.
6. Measure distance (B) (front side).
 If toe-in is outside specified range, adjust with adjusting bolt in suspension arm.
AdjustmentINFOID:0000000003813443
CAMBER
If camber is outside of specified range, adjust with adjusting bolt (1)
in front lower link (2).
CAUTION:
 When tightening the nut firmly and checking the torque, use a
wrench to prevent the turning of bolt.
 After adjusting camber, be sure to check toe-in.
 If camber exceeds the standard value, inspect and replace any
damaged or worn suspension parts.
TOE-IN
If toe-in is outside of specified range, adjust with adjusting bolt (1) in
rear lower link (2).
CAUTION:
 Be sure to adjust equally on right and left side with adjusting
bolt.
 When tightening the nut firmly and checking the torque, use a
wrench to prevent the turning of bolt.
 If toe-in is outside of specified range, inspect and replace any dam-
aged or worn suspension parts.Standard
Total toe-in = A − B
