Factory unloaded condition: fuel tank full, coolant and oil at specified levels, spare tire, jack and tools in designated positions. Use the factory measuring procedure; height is wheel center to fender brim, not ground clearance. Select target using the measured rear ride height. Left-to-right angle difference must not exceed 1°30′. Caster uses REAR ride height.
