Note
♦
An alignment should not be done until the vehicle has been
driven 1,000 to 2,000 km (621 to 1242 miles), since it takes
this long for the coil springs to settle.
♦
The individual specifications should be followed as exactly as
possible when making adjustments.
When Vehicle Alignment is Necessary
♦ Vehicle shows handling problems.
♦ There is an accident damage and components were replaced.
♦ Axle components have been removed or replaced.
♦ Tire wear patterns are uneven.
Caution
Before beginning the axle alignment check the axle beam trail‐
ing arm. Refer to
⇒ “8.4 Axle Beam Trailing Arm (Torsion Beam), Checking with
Measuring Square VAS241001 ”, page 260 or
⇒ “8.5 Axle Beam Trailing Arm (Torsion Beam), Checking with
