    2. Inspect the camber.

      Camber (Unloaded Vehicle)

      Camber Inclination Right-left Difference
      -1°10' +/- 0°45' (-1.17° +/- 0.75°) 0°45' (0.75°) or less

      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.

  4. INSPECT TOE-IN 
    NOTE:

    Inspect while the vehicle is unloaded.

    1. Bounce the vehicle up and down at the corners to stabilize the suspension.
    2. Release the parking brake and move the shift lever to N.
    3. Push the vehicle straight ahead approximately 5 m (16.4 ft.). (Step A)
    4. Put tread center marks on the rearmost points of the rear wheels and measure the distance between the marks (dimension B).

    5. Slowly push the vehicle straight ahead to cause the rear wheels to rotate 180° using the rear tire valve as a reference point.

      HINT: 

      Do not allow the wheels to rotate more than 180°. If the wheels rotate more than 180°, perform the procedure from step A again.

    6. Measure the distance between the tread center marks on the front side of the rear wheels (dimension A).

      Toe-in (Unloaded Vehicle)

      Specified Condition Right-left Difference
      C + D: 0°12' +/- 0°12' (0.20° +/- 0.20°) 0°06' (0.10°) or less
      B - A: 2.0 +/- 2.0 mm (0.0787 +/- 0.0787 in.) 1.0 mm (0.0394 in.) or less

      HINT: 

      Measure "B - A" only when "C + D" cannot be measured.

      If the toe-in is not within the specified range, adjust it at the rear No. 1 suspension arms.

  5. ADJUST TOE-IN 
    1. Loosen the nut of the rear No. 1 suspension arm assembly (at the rear suspension member side).

      Toe-in (Unloaded Vehicle)

      Specified Condition Right-left Difference
      C + D: 0°12' +/- 0°12' (0.20° +/- 0.20°) 0°06' (0.10°) or less
      B - A: 2.0 +/- 2.0 mm (0.0787 +/- 0.0787 in.) 1.0 mm (0.0394 in.) or less

      HINT: 

      Rotating the rear suspension toe adjust cam sub-assembly by one notch changes the toe by approximately 3.3 mm (0.130 in.).

    3. Tighten the nut of the rear No. 1 suspension arm assembly (at the rear suspension member side).

      • Make sure that all tires of the vehicle are on the ground and the vehicle is unloaded.
  6. PLACE FRONT WHEELS FACING STRAIGHT AHEAD 
  7. PERFORM YAW RATE AND ACCELERATION SENSOR CALIBRATION 

    (See article. Refer to CALIBRATION [08/2014 - ] )

  8. PERFORM INITIALIZATION (w/ Height Control Sensor) 
    NOTE:

    Some systems need to be initialized after the wheel alignment is adjusted (See article. Refer to INITIALIZATION [08/2014 - 08/2015] Refer to INITIALIZATION [08/2015 - ] ).
