Wheel Alignment Setup







Wheel Alignment Setup

- Position the vehicle on an alignment rack.

- Install all required alignment equipment on the vehicle per the alignment equipment manufacturer instructions. On this vehicle, a four-wheel alignment is recommended.

Prior to reading the vehicle alignment readouts, the front and rear of vehicle should be jounced. Induce jounce (rear first, then front) by grasping the center of the bumper and jouncing each end of vehicle an equal number of times. The bumper should always be released when vehicle is at the bottom of the jounce cycle.

- Read the vehicle current front and rear alignment settings. Compare the vehicle current alignment settings to the vehicle specifications for camber, caster and toe-in. Refer to => [ Wheel Alignment ] Wheel Alignment.

- If front camber and caster are not within specifications, proceed to front camber and caster. Refer to => [ Front Camber And Caster ] Front Camber And Caster. If caster and camber are within specifications, proceed to toe. Refer to => [ Toe ] Toe. Rear camber, caster and toe are not adjustable. If found not to be within specifications, reinspect for damaged suspension or body components and replace as necessary.
