Alignment: Service and Repair
Rear Suspension
Rear Wheel Alignment Inspection and Adjustment
Among factors for rear wheel alignment, only toe and camber setting can be adjusted. Caster can't be adjusted. Therefore, should caster be out of
specification due to the damage caused by hazardous road conditions or collision, whether the damage is in body or in suspension should be
determined and damaged body should be repaired or damaged suspension should be replaced.
Toe and Camber Inspection and Adjustment
Preparation for toe and camber inspection and adjustment.
^
Place vehicle in non-loaded state on level floor.
^
Set steering wheel in straight state.
^
Check that inflation pressure of each tire is adjusted properly and disc wheel is free from deflection.
^
Check that each suspension part is free from bend, dent, wear or damage in any other form.
^
Check that ground clearance at the right and left is just about the same.
NOTE:
To prevent possible incorrect reading of toe, camber or caster, vehicle front and rear end must be moved up and down and forward and rearward a few
times before inspection.
