NOTE: Before checking for the height, bounce the vehicle up and down several times before measuring. Check the height with the vehicle empty, parked on a level surface, with properly inflated tires (tread wear indicators must not be showing). If the height is out of specification, load or unload the vehicle as necessary.
For proper inspection/adjustment of the wheel alignment, check and adjust the following before checking the alignment.
- Check that the suspension is not modified.
- Check the tire size and tire pressure.
- Check the runout of the wheels and tires.
- Check the suspension ball joints. (Hold a wheel with your hands, then move the wheel up and down and right and left to check for wobbling.)
- Check the height of each suspension.
a. Front: Ground clearance to the center of the lower control arm bolt.
b. Rear: Ground clearance to the center of the toe control arm bolt.
