Notes

1996 Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight LSS FWD V6-3.8L VIN KSECTION Notes
When checking rear wheel alignment, the electronic leveling system must have the superlift struts inflated with residual pressure only. Place a weight in trunk and turn ignition on and move transmission selector from Park to Reverse position and back. This will activate the compressor. Turn ignition off and remove weight from trunk. Wait 30 seconds for the system to exhaust. Roll vehicle forward one complete wheel rotation. Jounce vehicle before checking alignment.
