Description
Measure the rear wheel alignment when unloaded. «Unloaded state» implies a full charge of fuel, coolant and engine oil. However, the spare wheel, jack and tools should be removed.
Preliminary check
1. Check if the tire pressure is normal and there is no wear.
2. Check the runout of the road wheels.
3. Check the end play in the wheel bearings.
4. Check up operation of the shock-absorber.
5. Check whether the axle and suspension mounting points are tight and not deformed.
6. Check for cracks, deformation and other damage on the rods, levers and beam.
7. Check the height of the unladen vehicle.
Collapse
The camber angle is set at the factory and cannot be adjusted.
Camber: -1°55' to -0°25'
If the camber angle is out of specification, check the rear suspension components and replace damaged or worn parts.
Convergence angle
The toe angle is set at the factory and cannot be adjusted. Measure wheel alignment as follows. If it is out of specification, check the rear suspension components and replace any damaged or worn parts.
Caution: Always measure on a flat surface.
Before rolling the vehicle, 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 about 5 m.
3. Mark at the base line of the tread (behind) both wheels at the height of the center of the Hub. These labels will be the measurement points.
4. Measure the distance «A» (from the back).
5. Slowly roll the vehicle forward so that the wheels turn 180° (1/2 turn).
If the wheels have turned more than 180° (1/2 turn), measure first, Do not roll the vehicle backwards.
6. Measure the distance «IN» (from the front).
General convergence: 0-8 mm
