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



MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT
C232809E01

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
