Vehicle Lean Adjustment Preliminary Information

1. 1Fault

   • Lights (headlights, turn signals)
   • The procedure is for customer complaints of the vehicle leaning left or right.
   ↓→

2. 2Finding the cause

   Steps to confirm (in the document’s order)

   1. Measure the fender wheel-opening heights, front and rear, to quantify the lean.
   2. P height (front) and R height (rear) are the distance from the ground to the highest point of the wheel-opening, through the center of the wheel.
   3. Before measuring, set the tire pressures to the pressure shown on the certification label.
   4. Before measuring, check the fuel level and add weight if necessary to simulate a full tank.
   5. If the left-to-right difference in P and/or R height is 1/2 inch (12 mm) or less, the vehicle is within specification and no repair is suggested.
   ↓→

3. 3Correction

   Repair

   1. The vehicle's stance can generally be adjusted with the torsion bar adjuster bolts.
   2. If Z height is out of spec and the D height difference is greater than 1/2 inch (12 mm), adjust Z height until it is within spec and the P and R height differences are less than 1/2 inch (12 mm).
   3. If adjustment is not possible, check the front eye of the rear leaf springs for matching color-coded tape or paint: if the colors differ, switch the springs side to side; if they match, replace the leaf spring on the lower side only.
   4. After all adjustments, perform a front-end alignment and check headlight aim.

Preliminary Information - Vibration Diagnosis Using Pico Oscilloscope

1. 1Fault

   • Vibration or shudder
   • Customer vibration complaints are among the most challenging to diagnose and repair accurately.
   ↓→

2. 2Finding the cause

   Steps to confirm (in the document’s order)

   1. Drive the vehicle to verify the condition and record a Pico data file of the concern.
   2. Review the Pico file and use it to help determine the root cause or component.
   ↓→

3. 3Correction

   Repair

   • Repair the vehicle using the Pico information together with any published information relevant to the vibration frequency observed.

   Caution

   • Without knowing the vibration frequency, repair attempts are just spinning wheels.
   • Component level vibrations such as blower motor, brake pulsation or shudder on turns do not require a Pico file; the requirement is for vehicle level vibration complaints.
