Description
Measure the rear wheel alignment angles in an unloaded condition. "Unloaded condition" means full of fuel, coolant and engine oil. However, the spare tire, jack and tools should be removed.
Preliminary check
1. Check that the tire pressure is normal and that there is no wear.
2. Check the runout of the running wheels.
3. Check the axial play in the wheel bearings.
4. Check the operation of the shock absorber.
5. Check that the axle and suspension mounting points are tight and not deformed.
6. Check for cracks, deformation or other damage on the rods, levers and beam.
7. Check the unloaded height of the vehicle.
Collapse
The camber angle of the wheels is set at the factory and cannot be adjusted.
Camber angle: from -1°55' to -0°25'
If the camber angle is not normal, check the rear suspension components and replace any damaged or worn parts.
Convergence angle
The toe angle is set at the factory and cannot be adjusted. Measure the wheel toe as follows. If it is not correct, check the rear suspension components and replace any damaged or worn parts.
Caution: Always take measurements on a flat surface.
Before rolling the car, make sure there is no one in front of it.
1. Rock the rear of the car to stabilize the suspension.
2. Roll the vehicle straight forward for approximately 5 m.
3. Place a mark at the tread baseline (rear) of both wheels at the height of the Hub center. These marks will be the measurement points.
4. Measure the distance "A" (from the back).
5. Slowly roll the car forward so that the wheels turn 180° (1/2 turn).
If the wheels have turned more than 180° (1/2 turn), take the measurement first, Do not roll the car backwards.
6. Measure the distance "B" (from the front side).
Overall toe-in: 0-8mm
