5. RWD – Tighten the tie rod jam nut (3) to 75 N·m
(55 ft. lbs.) torque using care not to lose adjust-
ment.
6. Make sure the inner tie rod-to-steering gear boot is
not twisted, then reinstall the boot clamp at the
inner tie rod.
7. Adjust front toe on opposite side of vehicle using
the above procedure as necessary.
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 correct new
or known good coil spring. The heights should vary if the suspect spring is weak.
NOTE: When measuring, the maximum left-to-right differential is not to exceed 12.5 mm (0.5 in.).
1. Front – On each side of the vehicle, measure the
distance (2) from the frame rail just behind the
engine cradle rear mount (1) to the floor or align-
ment rack/lift runway surface. It may be necessary
to measure to the bottom of a straight edge, placed
from lift runway to runway, to get an accurate
measurement.

2. Rear – On each side of the vehicle, measure the
distance (2) from the travel limiter (1) attached to
the front rear crossmember mount bushing to the
floor or alignment rack/lift runway surface. It may
be necessary to measure to the bottom of a
straight edge, placed from lift runway to runway, to
get an accurate measurement.
3. Compare the measurements to the specifications listed in the following Curb Height Specifications chart.
