Wheel alignment, checking/adjusting: Notes
NOTE:
The following applies when checking and adjusting wheel alignment:
- All measurements must be made using alignment equipment for four-wheel drive vehicles
- All readings must be taken on an empty car (the fuel level in the fuel tank does not matter)
- Check all the tire pressures before beginning measurement.
NOTE:
Model year 2001-, note the car chassis type. See Identifying the chassis type
.
CAUTION:
Before taking readings, check that the steering wheel position is straight. When adjusting the front toe-in, correct any misalignment at the same time. For major steering wheel misalignment, adjust the position of the steering wheel as follows:
- For model year -2000, see Steering wheel module, steering wheel and contact reel, replacement
- For model year 2001-2002, see Steering wheel module and steering wheel
- For model year 2003-, see Steering wheel three spoke, replace .
