FAQ for Camber and Alignment Kit Repair
Q: What should be noticed when making a D Height Measurement?
A:
There are no specified trim height specifications on leaf spring vehicles because it is not an adjustable feature. The height of the suspension will depend on the option content of the vehicle as well as the aftermarket equipment that is placed on the vehicle. The measurements are used for comparison only and should be within 15 mm with the vehicle at the curb and no accessories.

When prompted by the scan tool you must turn the steering wheel a full 90° to the left and a full 90° to the right and then to center and hold. If this step is not done properly then it is possible to cause a false DTC for the steering wheel position sensor.
