Alignment: Service and Repair
Wheel Alignment
The suspension can be adjusted for front and rear toe.
Pre-Alignment Checks
For proper inspection and adjustment of the wheel alignment, do these checks:
1. Release the parking brake to avoid an incorrect measurement.
2. Make sure the suspension is not modified.
3. Check the tire size and tire pressure.
4. Check the runout of the wheels and tires. See: Wheels and Tires/Wheels/Testing and Inspection
5. Check the suspension ball joints. (Hold a wheel with your hands, and move it up and down and right and left to check for wobbling.) If any
movement is felt, find the source and repair.
6. Lower the vehicle. Bounce the vehicle up and down several times to stabilize the suspension.
Caster Inspection

the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
1. Check the caster angle.
2. If out of specification, check for bent or damaged suspension components.
Camber Inspection
Use commercially available computerized four wheel alignment equipment to measure wheel alignment (caster, camber, toe, and turning angle). Follow
the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
1. Check the camber angle.
