Pre-Alignment Checks

For proper inspection and adjustment of the wheel alignment, do these checks:

1. Release the parking brake to avoid an incorrect measurement.
2. Make sure the suspension is not modified.
3. Check the tire size and tire pressure.

   Tire size: 

   • VAN, LX, EX, EX-L models: P235/65R16 103T 
   • EX-L Touring model: P235-710R460A 104T 

   Tire pressure: 

   Front: 

   • 230 kPa (2.3 kgf/cm ²  , 33 psi) (VAN, LX, EX, EX-L Touring models) 
   • 240 kPa (2.4 kgf/cm ²  , 35 psi) (EX-L model) 

   Rear: 240 kPa (2.4 kgf/cm ²  , 35 psi) 

4. Check the runout of the wheels and tires (see WHEEL RUNOUT INSPECTION  ).
5. Check the suspension ball joints. (Hold a wheel with your hands, and move it up and down and right and left to check for wobbling.)
