mats are in designated positions.

PRELIMINARY CHECK

Check the following:
• Tires for improper air pressure and wear
• Road wheels for runout: refer to 

WT-2, "Inspection"

.

• Wheel bearing axial end play: refer to

.

• Shock absorber operation

• Each of lower link, upper link, rear suspension member, suspension arm and shock absorber for cracks,

deformation, and other damage

• Vehicle height (posture)

CAMBER

• Measure camber of both right and left wheels with a suitable alignment gauge.
• If camber is outside specified range, adjust with adjusting bolt in

WARNING:

• Always perform the following procedure on a flat surface.
• Make sure that no person is in front of vehicle before pushing it.
1.

Bounce the front of vehicle up and down to stabilize the vehicle height (posture).

2.

Push vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).
