PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Suspension INFOID:0000000002978672

CAUTION:
• When installing rubber bushings, final tightening must be carried out under unladen conditions with
tires on ground. Oil will shorten the life of rubber bushings. Be sure to wipe off any spilled oil.
- Unladen conditions mean that fuel, engine coolant and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools
and mats are in designated positions.
• After servicing suspension parts, be sure to check wheel alignment.
• Self-locking nuts are not reusable. Always use new ones when installing. Since new self-lock nuts
are preoiled, tighten as they are.

Rear Wheel Alignment INFOID:0000000002978674

PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
WARNING:
Always check the alignment with the vehicle on a flat surface.
• Check the wheel alignment with the vehicle under unladen conditions. “Unladen conditions” means that the
fuel, coolant, and lubricant are full; and that the spare tire, jack, hand tools and mats are in their designated
positions.
• Check the tires for incorrect air pressure and excessive wear.
• Check the wheels for runout and damage.
• Check the rear axle bearing axial end play. Refer to RAX-6, "Axle Bearing".
• Check the shock absorbers for leaks or damage.
• Check each mounting point of the suspension components for any excessive looseness or damage.
• Check the vehicle height. Refer to FSU-11, "Wheelarch Height (Unladen*)".
CAMBER
1. Install CCK gauge attachment (SST: KV991040S0) as following procedure in wheel.
a. Remove wheel to nuts, and install a guide bolt to hub bolt.
b. Screw center plate into plate.
c. Insert plate on guide bolt. Put spring in, and then evenly screw both guide bolt nut. When fastening guide
bolt nut, do not completely compress spring.
CAUTION:
Do not use any adapter for attaching the attachment.
d. Place the dent of alignment gauge onto the projection of center plate and tightly contact them to measure.

2. Measure camber of both the right and left wheels with a suitable alignment gauge and compare to specifi-
cations.
CAUTION:
After inspecting the camber then check the toe-in.

Camber: Refer to RSU-7, "Wheel Alignment (Unladen*)".

TOE-IN
WARNING:
Always perform the following procedure on a flat surface.
CAUTION:
After inspecting the camber then check the toe-in.

Toe-in: Refer to RSU-7, "Wheel Alignment (Unladen*)".
