Rear Wheel Alignment: Inspection

NOTE: For vehicles equipped with VSC, if 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 negative battery terminal for more than 2 seconds.
  2. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
  3. Perform zero point calibration of the yaw rate and acceleration sensor and test mode inspection.

(See CALIBRATION )

  1. INSPECT TIRES  (See INSPECTION )
  2. MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT  (See ADJUSTMENT  )
  3. INSPECT CAMBER 
    1. Install the camber-caster-kingpin gauge and position the rear wheel on the alignment tester.
    2. Inspect the camber.

      Camber 

      CAMBER SPECIFICATIONS

      Camber Right - left error
      -0°57' +/- 30' (-0.95° +/- 0.5°) 0°30' (0.5°)
      NOTE: The tolerance for the difference between the left and right wheels is 30' (0.5°) or less for both cambers.

      If the camber is not within the specified range, inspect the suspension parts and replace them if necessary.

  4. INSPECT TOE-IN 

    Toe-in 

    TOE-IN SPECIFICATIONS

    B-A
    3.4 +/- 3 mm (0.13+/-0.11 in.)

    If the toe-in is not within the specified range, inspect the suspension parts and replace them if necessary.
