I know this might be an old topic here, but I didnt find the information i need.

I see my rear wheels have a horrible toe issue and i was looking today under the car and cant figure out where are the bolts to fix that.

Does anyone have a picture showing them?

thanks

for what year...?

any alignment place should be able to fix your toe using the standard adjustments.

1994.

Please anyone show me. In china the people is very stupid and they are telling me to buy a new rear carrier, for no reason. So if I show them we can figure it out.

thanks

DannySz

Bump!

please guys, seriously. These chinese guys are useless. They think its impossible and i really need to fix this up ASAP as i have a road trip soon. Im driving 45MPH and if I step over wet road the car start to "drift" sideways.

I think I will do it myself, or at least to help the guys in the shop.

Where are these bolts/nuts located to adjust rear toe. Pics or Videos will be very appreciated.

I have a Japanese manual for 94. It shows how to adjust but there are too many pages to show you here and things are all written in Japanese.

DannySz

maybe with the pictures will be enough for me. An e-manual or a website.. I cant find info anywhere.

plus, i dont understand chinese nor japanese hehe

Download from below. I just uploaded it. The drawings will be probably helpful for you.
There are some Japanese people in your area and ask them if you need to read.

Honestly,, if you are at a shop that does any kind of suspension and alignment work, and they DON'T know how to adjust toe/camber,,,,have them put the car back on the ground, get your keys and go somewhere else. Not trying to be mean, but with any shop that does suspension work, this is pretty standard stuff. Hope this diagram will help you out abit.

DannySz

Thanks for the diagram

and thats exactly what i do. I've been in several shops and they all think the only wheels to align are the front and they look at the rears and dont understand anything. Chinese people is too new to cars and service is a PITA and a POS.

They think the rears must have threaded links to be adjusted.

Have you checked the condition of the suspension bushings? If the car gets squirrely while driving, something must be loose or severely worn. If they're bad, just replacing the worn out bushings may solve most of the problem. The diagram above shows adjustment cams for camber and toe. Mark the cams before taking it apart and put it back in the same place.

You'll still want to get it aligned. All you need are techs with enough brain matter to know how to adjust it.

^^ agree with above statement. You most likely have worn out bushings(common problem with these cars). I only posted the above diagram b/c he asked to know where the adjustment bolts were and that was the only one I could find off the cuff. Based on what you stated on post #3, your carrier arm bushings are worn out. From a labor standpoint, it is much easier to just replace the entire arm with the new bushing already installed rather than to try ot just replace the bushings themselves. From the standpoint of your pocket, you CAN just replace the bushings, but you will have to have the pressed out. I should have read the entire post before I responded last time. Proper alignment, as stated above, WILL still be necessary with any kind of suspension work.

thanks guys, I replaced bushings and suspension overall was revised.
