Preliminary Inspection

WARNING: Always adjust the alignment with the vehicle on a flat surface.

  2. Check the tires for incorrect air pressure and excessive wear.
  3. Check the wheels for run out and damage. Refer to "INSPECTION ".
  4. Check the wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to "ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION AND SERVICE ".
  5. Check the shock absorbers for leaks or damage.
  6. Check each mounting point of the suspension components for any excessive looseness or damage.
  7. Check each link, arm, and the suspension member for any damage.
  8. Check the vehicle height. Refer to "WHEELARCH HEIGHT (UNLADEN*) ".
