Alignment Checking

Insert a 19 mm (0.750 in) diameter guide pin or drill bit into the frame-to-body guide pin hole in order to inspect the frame-to-body alignment. If the guide pins will not fit, the frame is not in correct alignment with the body. To realign the frame refer to Frame Replacement - Front (W/AWD) (Frame Replacement - Front (W/AWD))Frame Replacement - Front (W/FWD) (Frame Replacement - Front (W/FWD)) and Crossmember Replacement (Service and Repair) .
