Wheel Alignment
NOTE: After adjusting the wheel alignment on a model with SH-AWD, do the VSA sensor neutral position memorization. See: Brakes and Traction

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. Make sure the fuel tank is full, and that the spare tire, the jack, and the tools are in place on the vehicle.
4. Check the tire size and tire pressure.
5. Check the runout of the wheels and tires. See: Wheels and Tires/Wheels/Testing and Inspection
6. Check the suspension ball joints (Hold a tire with your hands, and move it up and down and right and left to check for movement).
7. Before doing alignment inspections, be sure to remove all extra weight from the vehicle, and no one should be inside the vehicle (driver or
passengers).
8. Bounce the vehicle up and down several times to stabilize the suspension.
9. Check that the steering column is set at the center tilt and telescopic position.
