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

Note:

For vehicles equipped with VSC, if a wheel alignment has been performed, or if suspension or underbody components have been removed/installed or replaced, be sure to perform the following initialization procedure in order for the system to function normally:

  • Perform zero point calibration of the acceleration sensor.

  1. Note:

    • Before inspecting the wheel alignment, adjust the vehicle height to the specified value.

    • Be sure to perform measurement on a level surface.

    • 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.

    • Inspect while the vehicle is unloaded.

    • The standard value shown here is a value that is used for performing a wheel alignment and does not indicate the height of an actual vehicle.

    MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT

    1. Bounce the vehicle up and down at the corners to stabilize the suspension.

    2. C302543N01

      Measure the vehicle height.

      • Measurement Points:

      • A: Ground clearance of front wheel center

      • B: Ground clearance of front lower suspension arm bushing set bolt center

      • C: Ground clearance of rear wheel center

      • D: Ground clearance of rear trailing arm bushing set bolt center
