Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Thrust Angle
When adjusting, adjust it to the following value.
Thrust angle: Adjustment value
0°00'±20'
Less than 20' when "L" is 15 mm (0.6 in) or less.
- Make thrust angle adjustments by turning the adjusting bolts of the rear suspension equally in the same direction.
- When one rear tire is adjusted in a toe-in direction, adjust the other rear tire equally in a toe-out direction, in order to make the thrust angle adjustment.
- 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).)
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.

- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
