NOTE
• Strut bracket nut (for 12.9 strength bolt) is pre-coated with friction stabilizer and provided with
marks indicating the strength class. Never reuse this nut to prevent it from loosening. Be sure to

Rear Wheel Alignment Construction
S3RH0A2301002
Among factors for rear wheel alignment, only toe setting can be adjusted. Camber and caster can’t be adjusted.
Therefore, should camber or caster be out of specification due to the damage caused by hazardous road conditions or
collision, whether the damage is in body or in suspension should be determined and damaged body should be
repaired or damaged suspension should be replaced.
