Service Procedure

Vehicles that exhibit ride characteristics which are determined to be firmer than normal should be checked for the following conditions:

^ Wheels - Verify that the wheels installed on the vehicle are original equipment. Some aftermarket or custom wheels do not have the correct rim width, offset, and weight as original equipment wheels

^ Tires - Verify the tires are of the same brand, type, size, and construction as originally installed on the vehicle. The suspension and steering systems were designed to provide optimum ride and handling with the original equipment tires. Tires of different size, brand or construction may not provide the same levels of ride quality and handling

^ Tire Pressure - Maintaining the correct tire pressure is critical to maintaining customer satisfaction with the ride and handling of the vehicle. This information is located on the right rear door jamb decal

^ Body-to-Frame Mounts - The body-to-frame mounts are an intergal part of the entire vehicle suspension system. Mounts that are misaligned or over-compressed may increase the transmission of road inputs felt by the driver of the vehicle
