General Description. Pontiac Sun Runner - 2WD (Canada) 1998

For 1990-2009 cars

Wheel alignment refers to the angular relationship between the following components:

• | The front wheels

• | The front suspension attaching parts

• | The ground

Toe setting is the only adjustment that may be made for the front alignment.

The camber and the caster cannot be adjusted for this vehicle. If the camber or the caster is damaged from hazardous road conditions or collision, identify and replace the damaged components.

The following angles must be considered during alignment:

• | The angle of the knuckle away from the vehicle

| (This angle is viewed from the front of the vehicle.)

• | The tilt of the suspension members from the vertical

| (This angle is viewed from the side of the vehicle.)

Perform a complete wheel alignment inspection whenever a service check is performed on the vehicle.

Measure all four of the wheels in order to determine if the wheel alignment is correct. Alignment of all four of the wheels ensures that all four of the wheels will be running in the same direction.

When the vehicle is geometrically in alignment, fuel economy and tire life increase and steering and performance are maximized.
