(8) Verify vehicle fuel tank is full of fuel. If tank is
not full of fuel, reduction in weight will affect height
of vehicle and design height measurement.
(9) Remove any load within passenger and luggage
compartments that is not factory equipment.
(10) Position vehicle on alignment rack/drive-on
lift equipped with front turntables and rear slip
plates.
(11) Check all tires for proper inflation pressure
and adjust as necessary.
(12) Raise front of vehicle.
(13) Remove both front tire and wheel assemblies.
(14) Install Suspension Height Stands, Special
Tool 9096, in place of removed wheels as shown (Fig.
30). Install all wheel mounting nuts and progres-
sively tighten in proper sequence to 122 N·m (90 ft.
lbs.) torque.
(15) Lower vehicle positioning Height Stand legs
squarely onto alignment rack turntables, not allow-
ing tool to come into contact with stationary parts of
alignment rack. Make sure locking pins are removed
from turntables before Height Stands make contact.
NOTE: When setting vehicle to design height while
using Suspension Height Stands it is critically
important to perform the following:
• Make sure locating pins are inserted in correct
wheel diameter holes in Heights Stands or mea-
surement will be incorrect. Front wheels use 18 in.
position hole (Fig. 31). Rear wheels use 19 in. posi-
tion hole.
• Place ends of Suspension Height Gages, Spe-
cial Tool 6914, right-side-up (same direction as if
mounted against wheels) with notches against
locating pins in ends of Suspension Height Stands
as shown (Fig. 31), otherwise measurements will be
incorrect.
(16) Place Suspension Height Gage, Special Tool
6914, between Suspension Height Stands against
locating pins (Fig. 32). Make sure ends of Gage are
correctly attached to Locating pins in Stands (Fig.
31). Refer to above note.
CAUTION: Only apply weight to seat cushions as
described in Step 17. Do not over-ballast the vehi-
cle. If vehicle is over-ballasted, the design height
will be incorrect.
