Wheel Alignment Specifications & Procedures Mitsubishi Galant VI

RIDING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

Note. On vehicles with electronic chassis controls, all systems should be functional before attempting ride height or wheel alignment adjustment.

Before adjusting alignment, check riding height. Riding height must be checked with vehicle on level floor and tires properly inflated. Bounce vehicle several times and allow suspension to settle.

Visually inspect vehicle for signs of abnormal height from front to rear or side to side. Check passenger and luggage compartments for extra heavy items and remove if present. If riding height is not within specifications listed, suspension should be checked and repaired before alignment is adjusted.

Note. For vehicles not listed, ride height between front and rear of vehicle should vary less than 1" (25.4 mm).

JACKING & HOISTING

Note. These illustrations are not meant to represent the exact structure of each vehicle's frame, underbody or body outline. They are presented only to give the mechanic some point of reference.

FRAME & UNDERBODY

The following illustrations indicate areas of the underbody and frame which may be used to raise and support the vehicle, using either floor jack or hoist. These points are indicated by shaded areas on the frame. (Scheme 2)

OUTERBODY

These points designated on the outline of the body were specifically designed to facilitate the use of the vehicle's own jack. These jacking points are indicated by circular dots on the outline of the body. (Scheme 2) If floor jack or hoist are used, extreme care should be taken to avoid damaging the outer body shell.
