# WHEN REMOVING,INSTALLING,REPAIRING OR REPLACING PARTS > WHEEL ALIGNMENT STANDARD

MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT

NOTICE:

1. Before inspecting the wheel alignment, adjust the vehicle height to the specified value.
2. Be sure to perform measurement on a level surface.
3. If it is necessary to go under the vehicle for measurement, confirm that the parking brake is applied and the vehicle is secured with chocks.
4. Inspect while the vehicle is unloaded.
5. The standard value shown here is a value that is used for adjusting the wheel alignment and does not indicate the height of an actual vehicle.

1. Bounce the vehicle up and down at the corners to stabilize the suspension.

2. Measure the vehicle height.

   Measurement points:
   1. A: Ground clearance of front lower No. 1 suspension arm bushing set bolt center
   2. B: Ground clearance of rear No. 2 suspension arm set bolt center
   3. C: Ground clearance of front wheel center
   4. D: Ground clearance of rear wheel center

INSPECT TOE-IN (FRONT)

NOTICE:

  Inspect while the vehicle is unloaded.

1. Bounce the vehicle up and down at the corners to stabilize the suspension.

2. Release the parking brake and move the shift lever to N.

3. Push the vehicle straight ahead approximately 5 m (16.4 ft.). (Step C)

4. Put tread center marks on the rearmost points of the front wheels and measure the distance between the marks (dimension B).

   *b | Dimension B

5. Slowly push the vehicle straight ahead to cause the front wheels to rotate 180° using the front tire valve as a reference point.

   HINT:
     Do not allow the wheels to rotate more than 180°. If the wheels rotate more than 180°, perform the procedure from Step C again.

6. Measure the distance between the tread center marks on the front side of the wheels (dimension A).
