REAR SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY

THE ALIGNMENT PROCESS

IMPORTANT:
Use only the alignment specifications listed in this Service Manual.

●

When displaying the alignment settings, many alignment machines use “indicators”: (Green/red, plus or
minus, Go/No Go). Do not use these indicators.

–

The alignment specifications programmed into your machine that operate these indicators may not be cor-
rect.

–

This may result in an ERROR.

●

Some newer alignment machines are equipped with an optional “Rolling Compensation” method to “com-
pensate” the sensors (alignment targets or head units). Do not use this “Rolling Compensation”
method.

–

Use the “Jacking Compensation Method”. After installing the alignment targets or head units, raise the
vehicle and rotate the wheels 1/2 turn both ways.

–

See Instructions in the alignment machine you're using for more information on this.

CAMBER INSPECTION

●

Measure camber of both right and left wheels with a suitable
alignment gauge and adjust in accordance with the following
procedures.

If outside the standard value, adjust with adjusting bolt in front
lower link.

NOTE:
After adjusting camber, be sure to check toe-in.

TOE-IN

If toe-in is not within the specification, adjust with adjusting bolt in
rear lower link.

CAUTION:

Be sure to adjust equally on RH and LH side with adjusting bolt.
If toe-in is not still within the specification, inspect and replace any
damaged or worn rear suspension parts.
