Wheel Alignment

Height

NSX/NSX-T four wheel alignment requires the use of equipment designed specifically for four wheel independent

suspensions and capable of immediate feedback.

NOTE: For proper inspection/adjustment of the wheel alignment, check and adjust the following before checking

the alignment.

• Check that the suspension is not modified.

• Check the tire size and tire pressure.

• Check the runout of the wheels and tires.

• Check the suspension ball joints. (Hold a wheel with your hands, then move the wheel up and down and right

and left to check for wobbling.)

• Check the height of each suspension (see below).

Standard value

Front:

Ground clearance to the center of the lower

control arm bolt
Rear:

Ground clearance to the center of the toe con-

trol arm bolt

Height inspection:

• Before checking for the height, bounce the vehicle up and down several times before measuring.

• Check the height with the vehicle empty, parked on a level surface, with properly inflated tires (tread wear indicators

must not be showing). If the height is out of specification, load or unload the vehicle as necessary.ProCarManuals.com

• Take care not to bend or scratch the trim panels.

CAUTION: When prying with a flat tip screwdriver,

wrap it with protective tape or a shop towel to prevent

damage.
