FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT 1. MAKE FOLLOWING CHECKS AND CORRECT ANY PROBLEMS (a) Check the tires for wear and proper inflation pressure. Cold tire inflation pressure: Tire size | Front | Rear 225/50 R 16 | 2.2 (32, 220) | 2.2 (32, 220) kg/cm² (psi, kPa) (b) Check the wheel runout. Lateral runout: Less than 1.2 mm (0.047 in) (c) Check the front wheel bearings for looseness. (d) Check the front suspension for looseness. (e) Check the steering linkage for looseness. (f) Check the ball joint for excessive looseness. (g) Check that the front shock absorber work properly by using the standard bounce test. 2. MEASURE CHASSIS GROUND CLEARANCE Chassis ground clearance: | | mm (in.) Tire size | Front | Rear 225/50 R 16 | 201.5 (7.933) | 2190 (8.622) If the clearance of the vehicle is not standard, try to level by locking it down. If still not correct check for bad springs or suspension parts. HINT: • Measuring point Front Measure from the ground to the center of the lower suspension arm front mounting bolt. Rear Measure from the ground to the center of the No.2 lower suspension arm mounting bolt. • Before inspecting wheel alignment, adjust chassis ground clearance to specification. 3. INSTALL WHEEL ALIGNMENT EQUIPMENT Follow the specific instructions of the equipment manufacturer.
