Bounce vehicle several times to normalize suspension. Measure riding height. (Scheme 4)or (Scheme 5). If riding height is not as specified, repair or replace suspension components as necessary. See the RIDING HEIGHT SPECIFICATIONS table. If riding height is okay, align wheels. See the WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS & PROCEDURES article.
