Candidate cause (the documents say what to do)
Vehicle body tilt or lean left / right (torsion bar front suspension)
The procedure addresses complaints of the vehicle leaning left or right.
What to do
- Measure fender wheel-opening heights, front and rear, to quantify the lean.
- Make sure the vehicle is on a level surface such as an alignment rack.
- The front wheel-opening height is known as P height, and the rear wheel-opening height is known as R height.
- P height and R height are the distance from the ground to the highest point on the wheel-opening, going through the center of the wheel.
- Before measuring, check the fuel level and add weight if necessary to simulate a full tank.
- Check Z height and D height; see Trim Height Inspection Procedure.
Caution: The P and R heights are not set at the factory, and no specification is given for them.
What is needed
- Parts and materials
- Rear leaf spring (lower side only; when Z height adjustment cannot correct it and both springs carry the same color code)
