Alignment: Service and Repair
Front

    The independent front and rear suspension system is designed for minimum maintenance. Other than incorrect front toe, front chamber and rear toe,
suspension misalignment can only result from wear or damage to suspension parts or distortion of body structure due to collision damage.
