Preparatory operations
Before checking, make sure that the rear suspension and wheels are in good technical condition. Also, check that the car is on a flat horizontal surface and that the tire pressure is correct.
Caution: Worn or damaged front and rear suspension components must be replaced before checking and adjusting wheel alignment.
Convergence
1. Measure the wheel alignment.
Nominal value - 3 ±2 mm
2. If the measured toe-in value does not correspond to the nominal value, then adjust the toe-in of the rear wheels by turning the adjusting bolts (the mounting bolts located on the inside of the right and left rear suspension toe-in adjustment levers) by the same amount.
Note:
- - On the left side of the vehicle: Turn the bolt clockwise to increase the toe-in.
- - On the right side of the vehicle: Turn the bolt clockwise to decrease the toe-in.
- - Turning the adjusting bolt by one division on the scale corresponds to a change in toe of approximately 2.6 mm (equivalent to a toe angle of 0°16' on one side).
- - To avoid damaging the bushings, only pre-tighten the adjusting bolts and make the final tightening after lowering the vehicle onto its wheels.
Collapse
Note: The rear wheel camber is adjusted at the factory and cannot be adjusted during operation.
1. Measure the rear wheel camber using a special tool.
Nominal value - -0°40' ±30'
Attention:
- - The difference between the measured values for the left and right wheels should be no more than 0°30'.
- - On vehicles with aluminum wheels, measure the camber on each wheel using the specified special tool and tighten it to the specified tightening torque.
Tightening torque: 150-200 Nm
- Do not load the bearings with the weight of the vehicle when the wheel hub flange nuts (2WD) or the wheel drive shaft nuts (4WD) are loose.
2. If the measured camber value does not correspond to the nominal value, then perform the following operations:
- a) Loosen the toe-in and trailing arm adjustment mounting bolt.
- b) Adjust the rear wheel camber by turning the adjusting bolt securing the lower arm.
Note:
- On the left side of the vehicle: Turn the bolt clockwise to increase the camber.
- On the right side of the vehicle: Turn the bolt clockwise to decrease camber.
- Turning the adjusting bolt by one division of the scale is equivalent to changing the camber angle by 0°14' on one side.
c) After completing the camber adjustment, tighten the toe adjustment and trailing arm mounting bolt to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 80-110 Nm
3. After completing the camber adjustment, adjust the rear wheel toe.
