Wheel Alignment For Subaru:

4. Rear Wheel Toe-In (FWD Model)

Inspection

1.) Using a toe-in gauge, measure the rear wheel toe-in.
Toe-in: 0 ± 3 mm (0 ± 0.12 in)

2.) Mark the rear sides of the left and right tires at a height corresponding to the center of the spindles and measure distance “B” between the marks.

3.) Move the vehicle forward so the marks line up with the front sides at a height corresponding to the center of the spindles.

4.) Measure distance “A” between left and right marks. Toe-in can then be obtained by the following equation: B – A = Toe-in

Adjustment

1.) Remove the cap from lateral link and loosen self-locking nut.

Caution: When loosening or tightening the adjusting bolt, hold the bolt head and loosen the self-locking nut. Replace the self-locking nut with a new one.

2.) Using two wrenches, turn the adjusting wheel and adjusting bolt equally in opposite directions until toe-in is at the specification.

Note: When the left and right wheels are adjusted for toe-in at the same time, moving one scale graduation changes toe-in by approximately 4 mm (0.16 in). Turn the adjusting wheel and adjusting bolt equally in opposite directions so the same scale graduations are positioned directly above the center of the adjusting bolt.

3.) Tighten the self-locking nut.
