must be the same size and in good condition with
approximately the same tread wear.
4. Check the front tire and wheel assemblies for excessive radial runout.
5. Inspect all suspension component fasteners for looseness and proper torque.
6. Inspect all ball joints and all steering linkage for looseness and any sign of wear or damage.
7. Inspect the rubber bushings on all the suspension components for signs of wear or deterioration. If any bushings show signs of wear or deterioration, they should be replaced prior to aligning the vehicle.
8. Check vehicle curb height.
Wheel Alignment Setup
1. Position the vehicle on an alignment rack.
2. Install all required alignment equipment on the vehicle, per the alignment equipment manufacturer’s instructions. On this vehicle, a four-wheel alignment is recommended.
3. Read the vehicle’s current front and rear alignment settings. Compare the vehicle’s current alignment settings to the vehicle specifications for camber, caster and toe-in.
NOTE :
Prior to reading the vehicle’s alignment readouts, the front and rear of vehicle should be jounced. Induce jounce (rear
first, then front) by grasping the center of the bumper and jouncing each end of the vehicle an equal number of
times. The bumper should always be released when vehicle is at the bottom of the jounce cycle.

Description
Tires are designed and engineered for each specific vehicle. They provide the best overall performance for normal
operation. The ride and handling characteristics match the vehicle’s requirements. With proper care they will give
excellent reliability, traction, skid resistance, and tread life.
Tire Identification
•Tire type, size, load index and speed rating are encoded in the letters and numbers imprinted on the side wall
of the tire.
Spare Tire
• A full size spare tire and wheel assembly is standard equipment on this vehicle. The original tire should be
repaired or replaced at the first opportunity, then reinstalled.
Operation
Driving habits have more effect on tire life than any other factor. Careful drivers will obtain, in most cases, much
greater mileage than severe use or careless drivers. A few of the driving habits which will shorten the life of any tire
are:
•Rapid acceleration
• Severe application of brakes
• High-speed driving
• Taking turns at excessive speeds
• Striking curbs and other obstacles
• Operating vehicle with over or under inflated tire pressures
