Thrust angle adjustment value
0°±20'
NOTE: Less than 20' when "L" is 15 mm (0.6 in) or less.
  1. Adjust the thrust angle within the adjustment value by turning the adjusting bolts of the rear suspension equally in the same direction.
  2. When the left and right adjusting bolts are turned by one graduation, the thrust angle will change approx. 15'. ("L" is approx. 11 mm (0.43 in).)
    NOTE: Thrust angle is a mean value of left and right toe angles calculated from the vehicle body center line.
    Vehicle is driven straight in the thrust angle direction while slanting in the oblique direction depending on the degree of the mean thrust angle.

    Thrust angle  :

    γ = (α - β)/2 

    α: Rear RH toe-in angle 

    β: Rear LH toe-in angle 

    Substitute only the positive toe-in values from each tire into α and β in the calculation  .
