Description
Vehicle wheel alignment is the positioning of all interrelated front and rear suspension angles. These angles affect the
handling and steering of the vehicle when it is in motion. Proper wheel alignment is essential for efficient steering,
good directional stability, and proper tire wear.
The method of checking a vehicle’s front and rear wheel alignment varies depending on the manufacturer and type
of equipment used. The manufacturer’s instructions should always be followed to ensure accuracy of the alignment.
On this vehicle, the suspension angles that can be adjusted are as follows:
Front Axle
•Camber
• Caster
• Toe-in
Rear Axle
• Camber
• Toe-in
Check the wheel alignment and make all wheel alignment adjustments with the vehicle standing at its proper curb
height specification. Curb height is the normal riding height of the vehicle. It is measured from a certain point on the
vehicle to the ground or a designated area while the vehicle is sitting on a flat, level surface.
Operation
Curb Height Measurement
The wheel alignment is to be checked and all alignment adjustments made with the vehicle at its required curb height
specification.
• Vehicle height is to be checked with the vehicle on a flat, level surface, preferably a vehicle alignment rack.
• The tires are to be inflated to the recommended pressure.
• All tires are to be the same size as standard equipment.
• Vehicle height is checked with the fuel tank full of fuel, and no passenger or luggage compartment load.
• Vehicle height is not adjustable.
• If the measurement is not within specifications, inspect the vehicle for bent or weak suspension components.
• Compare the parts tag on the suspect coil spring(s) to the parts book and the vehicle sales code, checking for
a match.
• Once removed from the vehicle, compare the coil spring height to a new or known good coil spring. The
heights should vary if the suspect spring is weak.
NOTE :
Prior to reading the curb height measurement, the front and rear of the vehicle must be jounced to settle the sus-
pension. Induce jounce by pushing down on the center of the bumper (fascia), using care not to damage the vehicle,
moving the vehicle up and down, gradually increasing the suspension travel with each stroke. Release the bumper at
the bottom of each stroke, repeating this action several times. Perform this to both front and rear suspensions an
equal number of times.
Pre-Wheel Alignment Inspection
Before any attempt is made to change or correct the wheel alignment, the following inspection and necessary cor-
rections must be made to the vehicle to ensure proper alignment. 1. Verify the fuel tank is full of fuel. If the fuel tank is not full, the reduction in weight will affect the curb height of the vehicle and the alignment specifications.
2. The passenger and luggage compartments of the vehicle should be free of any load that is not factory equip- ment.

Blower Motor
Description
The blower motor is mounted in the HVAC housing. The following are blower motor functions:
•The blower motor will operate whenever the ignition switch is in the ON position and the blower motor control
is in any position except Off.
• The blower motor can be accessed for service from underneath the instrument panel.
• The blower motor and blower motor wheel are factory balanced as an assembly and cannot be adjusted or
repaired and must be replaced if found inoperative or damaged.
Operation
The blower motor is used to control the velocity of air moving through the HVAC housing by spinning the blower
wheel within the HVAC air inlet housing at the selected speed. The blower motor is a 12-volt, direct current (DC)
motor mounted within a plastic housing with an integral wire harness connector. The blower wheel is secured to the
blower motor shaft and is positioned within the air inlet housing on the passenger side of the HVAC housing.

Evaporator
Description
The evaporator core is located in the HVAC housing, under the instrument panel. The evaporator coil is positioned in
the HVAC housing so that all air that enters the housing must pass over the fins of the evaporator before it is dis-
tributed through the system ducts and outlets. However, air passing over the evaporator core fins will only be con-
ditioned when the compressor is engaged and circulating refrigerant through the evaporator coil tubes.
Operation
Refrigerant enters the evaporator from the orifice tube as a low-temperature, low-pressure liquid. As air flows over
the fins of the evaporator, the humidity in the air condenses on the fins, and the heat from the air is absorbed by the
refrigerant. Heat absorption causes the refrigerant to boil and vaporize. The refrigerant becomes a low-pressure gas
before it leaves the evaporator. The evaporator core housing directs airflow from the blower motor through the evap-
orator core and heater core. All airflow from the blower motor passes through the evaporator core. The airflow is then
directed through or around the heater core by the temperature blend door(s).
Removal & Installation
1. Evacuate the A/C system (See A/C System Evacuation and Recharge in Section 13 Heating & Air Conditioning).
2. Remove the expansion valve.
3. Remove the HVAC housing (See HVAC Housing Removal and Installation in Section 13 Heating & Air Condi-

4. Remove the retaining bolts and screws.
5. Remove the evaporator core.
6. Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
Installation Notes:
• Lubricate new rubber O-ring seals with clean refrigerant oil and install them and new gaskets onto the refriger-
ant line fittings.
• Use only the specified O-rings as they are made of a special material for the R-134a system.
• Use only refrigerant oil of the type recommended for the A/C compressor in the vehicle.
• Recharge the A/C system (See A/C System Evacuation and Recharge in Section 13 Heating & Air Condition-
ing).
Condenser
Description
The condenser is located in the air flow in front of the engine cooling radiator. The condenser transforms the refrig-
erant from a gas into a liquid. It is attached to the vehicle with bolts and the A/C lines with fittings.
Operation
When the heat is removed from the refrigerant, it condenses. When the refrigerant leaves the condenser, it becomes
a high-pressure liquid refrigerant. The volume of air flowing over the condenser fins is critical to the proper cooling
performance of the air conditioning system. Therefore, it is important that there are no objects placed in front of the
radiator grille openings in the front of the vehicle or foreign material on the condenser fins that might obstruct proper
air flow. Also, any factory-installed air seals or shrouds must be properly reinstalled following radiator or condenser
service.

Accumulator
Description
The accumulator is connected directly between the condenser and the expansion valve. Accumulator is used on sys-
tems that use an orifice tube to meter refrigerants into the evaporator.
Operation
The primary function of the accumulator is to isolate the compressor from any damaging liquid refrigerant. The accu-
mulator removes debris and moisture from the air conditioning system.
Removal & Installation
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Evacuate the A/C system (See A/C System Evacuation and Recharge in Section 13 Heating & Air Conditioning).

Liquid Line
Description
The A/C liquid line connects the A/C condenser to the A/C evaporator.
Operation
The high pressure A/C liquid line is the refrigerant line that carries refrigerant from the A/C condenser to the A/C
accumulator. Air conditioning hoses are designed to control liquid and gas at high pressures and temperatures. The
hoses are usually flexible and equipped with special metal fittings at the ends to prevent leaks and provide a sure
seal and connection between components.
