MEASURING INFORMATION DIAGRAM DESCRIPTION

Tip:

  • There are two types of dimensions in the diagram.

  • In cases in which only one dimension is given, left and right are symmetrical.

  • For symbols, capital letters indicate right side of vehicle, small letters indicate left side of vehicle (seen from rear).

  1. Three-Dimensional Distance

    K104022C04

    *a

    Distance between the centers of the measuring points

    1. Straight-line distance between the centers of two measuring points.

  2. Two-Dimensional Distance

    K111552C01

    *a

    Center-to-center horizontal distance in forward/rearward

    *b

    Vertical distance to center

    *c

    Vertical distance to lower surface

    *d

    Imaginary Datum Line

    1. Horizontal distance in forward/rearward between the centers of two measuring points.

    2. Distance from the Imaginary Datum Line.

  3. Imaginary Datum Line

    K111553C01

    *a

    Under surface of the Rocker Panel

    *b

    Imaginary Datum Line

    1. The imaginary line used to measure height is a line which connects the points described in the following chart (actual dimensions are listed in the next chapter of this manual).

      Symbol

      Measuring Points

      A

      The place that was lowered (1) mm (in.) from the under surface of the rocker panel centered on the front jack up point.

      B

      The place that was lowered (2) mm (in.) from the under surface of the rocker panel centered between A and C.

      C

      The place that was lowered (3) mm (in.) from the under surface of the rocker panel centered on the rear jack up point.

  4. Measurement

    K111554C01

    *a

    Tracking Gauge

    *b

    Master Gauge

    *c

    Pointer

    *d

    Wrong

    *e

    Correct

    1. Basically, all measurements are to be done with a tracking gauge. For portions where it is not possible to use a tracking gauge, a tape measure should be used.

    2. Use only a tracking gauge that has no looseness in the body, measuring plate, or pointers.

    3. When using a tape measure, avoid twists and bends in the tape.

      Tip:

      • The height of the left and right pointers must be equal.

      • Always calibrate the tracking gauge before measuring or after adjusting the pointer height.

      • Take care not to drop the tracking gauge or otherwise shock it.

      • Confirm that the pointers are securely in the holes.
