Perform a four wheel alignment check (refer
to procedure).
Caution: Do not bump or pull
on the vehicle for the remainder of this procedure; this could bring the ride height
values out of specification.
Note: Follow the alignment equipment
manufacturer's instructions when performing the following 4 steps.
Caution: Only fully tighten suspension
nuts and bolts when the vehicle is on a 4-post lift and the suspension is in the
ride height position.
Note: If available, use the Alignment Torque Tools Kit
when performing the following 4 steps.
Note: Refer to the
Wheel Alignment section of this manual for
the latest alignment specifications.
Caution: The following 4
steps must be completed in the order shown.
-
Adjust the rear toe as required:

Caution: If a socket
wrench with an extension is used to adjust rear toe, the extension might
contact the suspension height sensor bracket, causing the bracket to bend. A
bent bracket causes incorrect vehicle ride height at the affected
corner.

Set the torque wrench to 80 Nm.
-
Adjust the rear toe as necessary.
-
Air suspension only: In Toolbox, select Cycle Heights High -->
Normal. Ensure that the toe is still within specification.
