Lean Adjustments

LEAN CORRECTION

Note:
- When installing a new coil spring, install a new one with the same part number and the same spring code. Refer to the Vehicle Certification (VC) Label on the driver-side door.





1. Measure the distance from the wheelhouse opening to the center of the wheel and tire at the same point on both sides of the vehicle.
2. If the difference exceeds 10 mm (0.4 inch), a lean correction is necessary. Compare the original with a new coil spring. Note the difference.
3. Remove the higher side coil spring.
1. If the original coil spring exceeds the height of the new one by 10 mm (0.4 inch), install the new coil spring in the vehicle.
2. If the original coil spring is shorter than the new one by 10 mm (0.4 inch), remove the low side coil spring from the vehicle.
4. Compare all three coil springs and select the two most evenly matched for installation.
