Rear Wheel Alignment -- Inspection


NOTICE:
For vehicles equipped with VSC, if the wheel alignment has been adjusted, and if suspension or underbody components have been removed/installed or replaced, be sure to perform the following initialization procedure in order for the system to function normally:
  1. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal for more than 2 seconds.
  2. Reconnect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.
  3. Perform zero point calibration of the yaw rate and acceleration sensor and test mode inspection.


1. INSPECT TIRES
  1. Check the tires for wear and proper inflation pressure.

  1. Using a dial indicator, check the runout of the tires.

    Maximum tire runout:
    1.4 mm (0.0551 in.)


2. MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT

NOTICE:
  1. Before inspecting the wheel alignment, adjust the vehicle height to the specified value.
  2. Be sure to perform measurement on a level surface.
  3. If it is necessary to go under the vehicle for measurement, confirm that the parking brake is applied and the vehicle is secured with chocks.
  1. Bounce the vehicle up and down at the corners several times to stabilize the suspension.

  1. Measure the vehicle height.

    Measuring points:
    A:
    No. 1 lower suspension arm bushing set bolt ground clearance
    B:
    Rear axle beam set bolt ground clearance
    C:
    Front wheel center ground clearance
    D:
    Rear wheel center ground clearance

If the toe-in is not within the specified range, inspect the suspension parts for damage and/or wear, and replace them if necessary.
HINT:
  1. Measure "B - A" only when "C + D" cannot be measured.


4. INSPECT CAMBER
  1. Install a camber-caster-kingpin gauge or set the vehicle on a wheel alignment tester.

  1. Inspect the camber.

    *3 for XRS
    HINT:
    Camber is not adjustable. If the measurement is not within the specified range, inspect the suspension parts for damage and/or wear, and replace them if necessary.
