A: INSPECTION
Check the following items before performing the wheel alignment measurement.
Check items before measuring wheel alignment:
•Tire inflation pressure
•Uneven wear of RH and LH tires, or difference of sizes
•Tire runout
•Excessive play and wear of ball joint
•Excessive play and wear of tie rod end
•Excessive play of wheel bearing
•Right and left wheel base imbalance
•Deformation and excessive play of steering link
•Deformation and excessive play of suspension parts
Check, adjust and measure the wheel alignment in accordance with the procedures indicated in the figure.

•INSPECTION
1) Place the front wheel on the turning radius
gauge. Make sure the ground contact surfaces of
front and rear wheels are at the same height.
2) Set the adapter at the center of wheel, and then
attach the wheel alignment gauge.
3) Measure the camber angle in accordance with
the operation manual for wheel alignment gauge.
•FRONT CAMBER ADJUSTMENT
1) When adjusting the camber, adjust it to the fol-
lowing value.
2) Loosen the two self–locking nuts located at the
lower front section of the strut.
NOTE:
When the adjusting bolt needs to be loosened or
tightened, hold its head with a wrench and turn the
self–locking nut.
3) Turn the camber adjusting bolt so that the cam-
ber is set at specification.
NOTE:
Moving the adjusting bolt by one scale changes the
camber by approximately 0°15′.

(Rear Disc Brake)
A: REMOVAL
1) Release the parking brake.
2) Lift-up the vehicle, and then remove the rear
wheels.
3) Remove the two mounting bolts and remove the
disc brake caliper assembly.

NOTE:
If the disc rotor is difficult to remove, try the follow-
ing two methods in order.
(1) Turn the adjusting screw using a flat tip
screwdriver until the brake shoe moves ade-
quately away from the disc rotor.
(2) If disc rotor is seized up on the hub, drive the
disc rotor out by pushing two 8-mm bolts in
holes B on the rotor.
6) Remove the shoe return spring.
7) Remove the brake shoe cup and brake shoe
spring, then remove the primary brake shoe.
8) Remove the strut and strut spring.
9) Remove the adjuster assembly.
10) Remove the brake shoe cup and brake shoe
spring, then remove the secondary brake shoe.
