Service information
Note: Before performing a proper wheel alignment check/adjustment, perform the following checks and adjustments:
- Make sure that no modifications have been made to the suspension.
- Check the tire size and pressure.
- Check the runout of the wheels and tires.
- Check the suspension ball joints. (Grab the running wheel with your hands, then move it up and down and left and right and check for wobble.).
Wheel alignment procedure
All elements of the wheel alignment are related to each other. Therefore, when adjusting one of the elements (camber, caster, toe and/or steering angle), an overall front/rear wheel alignment adjustment is required.
If any of the listed items required adjustment, recheck all of them.
Wheel Angle Checker, 0-4.5 inches (commercially available)
Note:
- Since the wheel alignment tool can be installed on the magnet of the front camber and caster gauge, make sure the wheel hubs are clean and free of rust before installing the tool.
- When installing the special tool, align the groove on the special tool with the groove on the contact surface of the measuring instrument to maximize the use of the magnetic force of the instrument.
- To obtain accurate wheel alignment readings, the vehicle must be parked on level ground.
