Vehicle Lifting Points
When Using Frame Contact Hoist
WARNING:
 Before applying hoist to underbody, always take vehicle balance throughout service into consider-
ation. Vehicle balance on hoist may change depending on what part to be removed.
 Before lifting up the vehicle, check to be sure that end of hoist arm is not in contact with brake pipe,
fuel pipe, bracket or any other part.
 When using frame contact hoist, apply hoist as shown (right and left at the same position). Lift up
the vehicle till 4 tires are a little off the ground and make sure that the vehicle will not fall off by try-
ing to move vehicle body in both ways. Work can be started only after this confirmation.
 Make absolutely sure to lock hoist after vehicle is hoisted up.

WARNING:
For vehicles equipped with Supplemental Restraint (Air Bag) System:
 Service on and around the air bag system components or wiring must be performed only by an
authorized SUZUKI dealer. Refer to “Air Bag System Components and Wiring Location View” under
“General Description” in air bag system section in order to confirm whether you are performing ser-
vice on or near the air bag system components or wiring. Please observe all WARNINGS and “Ser-
vice Precautions” under “On-Vehicle Service” in air bag system section before performing service
on or around the air bag system components or wiring. Failure to follow WARNINGS could result in
unintentional activation of the system or could render the system inoperative. Either of these two
conditions may result in severe injury.
 Technical service work must be started at least 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the
“LOCK” position and the negative cable is disconnected from the battery. Otherwise, the system
may be activated by reserve energy in the Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).

Parking Brake Lever and Cable
INSPECTION
1) Inspect brake cable for damage and smooth movement.
Replace cable if it is in deteriorated condition.
2) Check tooth tip of each notch for damage or wear. If any
damage or wear is found, replace parking lever.
3) Check parking brake lever for proper operation and stroke,
and adjust it if necessary.
For checking and adjusting procedures, refer to “Parking
Brake Inspection and Adjustment” in Section 5.

sure)
Tires/Wheels
TIRE INSPECTION AND ROTATION
1) Check tires for uneven or excessive wear, or damage.
If defective, replace.
Refer to “Irregular and/or Premature Wear” and “Wear Indi-
cators” in Section 3 for details.
2) Check inflating pressure of each tire and adjust pressure to
specification as necessary.
Refer to “Inflation of Tires” in Section 3F for details.
1. Wear indicator
NOTE:
 Tire inflation pressure should be checked when tires
are cool.
 Specified tire inflation pressure should be found on
tire placard or in owner’s manual which came with the
vehicle.

3) Rotate tires.
For details, refer to “Tire Rotation” in Section 3F.
WHEEL DISCS INSPECTION
Inspect each wheel disc for dents, distortion and cracks. A disc in
badly damaged condition must be replaced.
WHEEL BEARING INSPECTION
1) Check front wheel bearing for wear, damage, abnormal
noise or rattles. For details, refer to “Wheel Disc, Nut and
Bearing Check” in Section 3D.
2) Check rear wheel bearing for wear, damage, abnormal noise
or rattles. For details, refer to “Wheel Disc, Nut and Bearing
Check” in Section 3E.
Suspension System
INSPECTION
Check suspension bolts and nuts for tightness and retighten them
as necessary.
Repair or replace defective parts, if any.
FRONT
1) Check stabilizer bar (6) for damage or deformation.
2) Check bushing (8) for damage, wear or deterioration.
3) Check coil spring (1), lateral rod (5) and leading arm (3) for
deformation and damage.
4) Check lateral rod (5) and leading arm bushings for wear,
damage and deterioration.
5) Inspect absorbers (2) for evidence of oil leakage, dents or
any other damage on sleeves; and inspect anchor ends for
deterioration.
6) Inspect for cracks or deformation in spring seat.
7) Inspect for deterioration of bump stopper.NOTE:
For details of check points, refer to tables of “Tightening
Torque Specification” in Section 3D and 3E.

General Diagnosis
Since the problems in steering, suspension, wheels and tires involve several systems, they must all be consid-
ered when diagnosing a complaint. To avoid using the wrong symptom, always road test the vehicle first.
Proceed with the following preliminary inspections and correct any defects which are found.
1) Inspect tires for proper pressure and uneven wear.
2) Raise vehicle on a hoist and inspect front and rear suspension and steering system for loose or damaged
parts.
3) Spin front wheel. Inspect for out-of-round tires, out-of-balance tires, bent rims, loose and/or rough wheel
bearings.
