months.
->
"External reference" Alignment Machines (image based) should be checked once a year. Documentation of this "System Check" will serve as
the calibration certification.
->
Obviously, if any instrument is dropped, or damaged in some way, calibration should be checked immediately.
^
The alignment rack itself should be capable of accepting the 350Z.
^
The rack should be checked to ensure that it is level.
^
Some newer Hunter or other brand alignment machines are equipped with an optional "Rolling Compensation" method.
-> Do NOT use this method to compensate the sensors (alignment targets or heads) when aligning the 350Z.
-> Use the "Jacking Compensation Method" for any Alignment Targets or Heads sensors. You'll need to raise the vehicle to perform this
compensation.
ALSO:
^
To display the Alignment Settings, many alignment machines use a green/red or plus/minus or Go/No Go "indicator".
^
Don't use these indicators. They may cause some confusion that may result in a wrong toe setting.
^
The alignment specifications used to make the color change may not be correct in your machine. This may result in an ERROR.
-> You should check the specification and tolerance information in your machine to make sure it matches the specifications listed in the ESM
or Chart 1 in this TSB.
^
Refer to the actual number to correctly set the TOE.
2.
After you have checked and adjusted (if necessary) the Toe-in:
^
Print out both BEFORE and AFTER measurements,
^
Attach them to the Repair Order.
3.
Road test the vehicle to make sure:
^
The steering wheel is "centered".
^
The road noise is minimized.
