Make sure the suspension is not modified.

Make sure the fuel tank is full, and that the tire repair kit, the spare tire, the jack, and the tools are in place on the vehicle.

Check the tire size and tire pressure according to tire information.

12.	Caster - Inspection

Use commercially available computerized four wheel alignment equipment to measure wheel alignment (caster, camber, toe, and turning angle). Follow the equipment manufacturer's instructions.

Check the caster angle.

Caster angle:
	Without 18 inch wheel:	5 ° 10 ’±30 ’
	With 18 inch wheel:	5 ° 6 ’±30 ’

If the measurement is within specifications, measure the front camber angle.
