Standard Procedure - Wheel Alignment
NOTE:
The front and rear wheel alignment must be checked and adjusted to preferred specifications with vehicle at curb height.
- Correctly position vehicle on wheel alignment equipment per equipment manufacturer's recommendations. Perform a pre-wheel alignment inspection standard procedure. See STANDARD PROCEDURE under PRE-WHEEL ALIGNMENT INSPECTION.
- Measure vehicle curb height. See CURB HEIGHT MEASUREMENT under RIDE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT. Attach wheel alignment equipment following equipment manufacturer's instructions. Align vehicle starting with rear suspension, then proceed to front suspension. Always set toe last. Start with camber and caster angle. For wheel alignment specifications, see Figure .
NOTE:
Prior to checking vehicle's alignment measurements, front and rear of vehicle should be jounced. Induce jounce (rear first, then front), by grasping center of bumper and jouncing each end of vehicle an equal number of times. Bumper should always be released when vehicle is at bottom of jounce cycle.
