Incorrect trim heights can produce symptoms similar to
wheel misalignment. Check the trim heights whenever diagnosing steering and
vibration concerns. Refer to
Trim Height Specifications
.
Observe the following conditions to accurately measure the trim height:
| • | Ensure the fuel tank is full. |
| • | Ensure the coolant is full to capacity. |
| • | Ensure the vehicle has no additional weight or passengers. |
| • | Position the front seat in the rearward position. |
| • | Empty the rear compartment, except for the spare tire and the
jack (and a simulated fuel load, if required). |
| • | Position the vehicle on a known level floor. |
| • | Close all the doors, the hood, and the rear compartment lid. |
