INSPECTING AND ADJUSTING VEHICLE LEVEL AT FRONT AND REAR AXLES WITH AN ELECTRONIC INCLINOMETER

1. Observe the general information on chassis alignment inspection.

CAUTION: The measuring plate is magnetic. Information on data media, e.g. floppy disks, credit cards, etc., could be rendered unusable.

NOTE: Be sure to clean measurement points on the lower wishbone.

NOTE: Remove any metal shavings on the measuring plate.

2. Install the measuring plate in the recessed area in the lower control arm. The groove in the measuring plate should be at an angle of 90� towards the direction of travel.
3. Inspect the vehicle level at the front axle via control arm inclination.
4. Inspect the vehicle level at the rear axle via the rear axle shaft inclination.
5. Adjust the vehicle level at the front and rear axles. If the vehicle level is outside the allowed tolerance at the front or rear axle, perform the following:
- Adjust the vehicle level by changing the springs or the spring rubber mounts.
