Vehicles equipped with NYS (Rear Steering) must be aligned with ignition in the accessories mode (engine off) and transmission in neutral. This will set the rear steering module to zero (center) to properly align front to rear suspensions. If not followed, the rear wheels will turn causing inaccurate reading within the alignment equipment.
Before checking and adjusting the caster and camber angles, jounce the front bumper 3 times to allow the vehicle to return to normal ride height. Measure and adjust the caster and camber with the vehicle at curb height.
The rear toe alignment must be adjusted prior to the front caster and camber alignment.
Assistance may be required to hold specification when tightening the link bolts. Do not fully tighten the bolts at this time.
