The toe check is the first step to be performed at the 2,000-2,500 mile service. It must be performed before the vehicle is raised on a hoist. This is to ensure that the suspension is in its normal position. In addition, if the vehicle must be raised to install alignment equipment, the following procedures must be carried out prior to the front toe check:

1. Drive onto the alignment rack slowly to avoid excessive movement of the suspension.

2. Install and compensate alignment equipment.
3. Install engine support 10-221 onto front tow hooks. Pull the vehicle down 60-70 mm below the standard ride height specifications and maintain it for one minute, then release.

4. Lightly move the vehicle up and down approximately 1 inch (25 mm) to create some minor suspension movement. Repeat on the rear of the vehicle.

5. Proceed with toe check.
