Wheel Alignment

Front Caster Inspection
  1. Raise the front of the vehicle, and remove the wheel caps.
    NOTE: Push out the cap on the aluminum wheel from the inside after removing the wheel.
  1. Set the turning radius gauges beneath the front wheels, and place the boards under the rear wheels the same thickness as the turning radius gauges, then lower the vehicle.
    NOTE: Be sure that the vehicle is level with the wheels on the turning radius gauges and the boards.
  1. Install the wheel alignment gauge attachment (A) and camber/caster gauge on the wheel hub, and apply the front brake.
  1. Turn the front wheel 20 ° outward, then turn the adjusting screw of the camber/caster gauge to set the bubble at 0 °.
  1. Turn the wheel 20 ° inward and read the caster angle on the gauge with the bubble at the center of the gauge.
    Front caster angle:
    With 16 inch wheels: 3 ° 43 ' +10 ' −50 '
    With 17 inch wheels: 3 ° 47 ' +10 ' −50 '
    With 18 inch wheels: 3 ° 52 ' +10 ' −50 '
    (Maximum difference between the right and left side: 0 ° 30 ')

    • If the measurement is within specifications, measure the front camber angle.
    • If the measurement is not within specifications, check for bent or damaged suspension components.
