Measuring Rear Alignment Angles
Important:
• Install the alignment equipment following the equipment manufacturer's
instructions. Measure the alignment angles and record the readings. • Jounce the front and rear bumpers three times to normalize the
suspension prior to measuring the angles. • If the caster angles are not within the specified range, inspect
for damaged suspension and steering components and replace parts as necessary.
Should camber be found out of specification upon inspection (camber -1.0 to 1.0 degrees), locate its cause first. If the cause lies in damaged, loose, bent, dented or worn suspension parts, those parts should be replaced. Refer to Rear Suspension. If the problem lies in the body, repair it to attain specifications. Refer to Alignment Checking in Frame and Underbody. To prevent the possible incorrect reading of caster, the vehicle front end must be moved up and down a few times (jounced) before inspection.
Rear camber cannot be adjusted on this vehicle.
