Toe Pattern Measurement
NOTE:
Toe Pattern Preparation procedure must be performed before Toe Pattern Measurement.
- Raise vehicle by frame (near PLP holes).
- Remove all four wheels.
- Disconnect front and rear stabilizer bar links from lower control arms. Refer to LINK, STABILIZER BAR, REMOVAL, FRONT and LINK, STABILIZER BAR, REMOVAL, REAR .
- Remove front and rear coil-over-shock assemblies. Refer to SHOCK ABSORBER, SUSPENSION, COIL-OVER, REMOVAL, FRONT and SHOCK ABSORBER, SUSPENSION, COIL-OVER, REMOVAL, REAR .
- Install wheels.
- Install Straight Edge Measurement Tools and lower vehicle to curb height. Refer to CURB HEIGHT MEASUREMENT .
- With vehicle at curb height, measure and record front and rear toe at each wheel.
- Raise front and rear of vehicle 50 mm (2 in.) above curb height (Rebound). Measure and record front and rear toe at each wheel.
- Return vehicle to curb height.
- Lower front and rear of vehicle 50 mm (2 in.) below curb height (Jounce). Measure and record front and rear toe at each wheel.
NOTE:
It may not be possible to obtain a wheel toe reading with the vehicle lowered 50 mm (2 in.) below curb height. If not, measure at nearest attainable millimeter mark and record as such. It can be drawn in on Dynamic Toe Pattern Graph and used along with other plotted readings from other height settings to determine toe pattern arc.
NOTE:
Design Arc and Range guidelines (specifications) printed in Dynamic Toe Pattern Graph are for each individual wheel. Recorded measurements plotted on graph should also be drawn in per wheel.
