Chery Tiggo. Manual — part 336

3. Check the tires on the vehicle. The tires are to be

inflated to the recommended air pressure. All tires
must be the same size and in good condition with
approximately the same tread wear.

4. Check the front tire and wheel assemblies for excessive radial runout.

5. Inspect all suspension component fasteners for looseness and proper torque.

6. Inspect all ball joints and all steering linkage for looseness and any sign of wear or damage.

7. Inspect the rubber bushings on all the suspension components for signs of wear or deterioration. If any bushings

show signs of wear or deterioration, they should be replaced prior to aligning the vehicle.

8. Check vehicle curb height.

Wheel Alignment Setup

1. Position the vehicle on an alignment rack.

2. Install all required alignment equipment on the vehicle, per the alignment equipment manufacturer’s instructions.

On this vehicle, a four-wheel alignment is recommended.

3. Read the vehicle’s current front and rear alignment settings. Compare the vehicle’s current alignment settings to

the vehicle specifications for camber, caster and toe-in.

NOTE :
Prior to reading the vehicle’s alignment readouts, the front and rear of vehicle should be jounced. Induce jounce (rear
first, then front) by grasping the center of the bumper and jouncing each end of the vehicle an equal number of
times. The bumper should always be released when vehicle is at the bottom of the jounce cycle.

DIAGNOSIS & TESTING

Vehicle Inspection

Inspect the following for damage:

• Inspect the tires.

• Inspect the rims.
Replace any tire or rim that is found to be damaged.

Tire Wear

Inspect the following for accurate tire wear:

• Check the depth of tire remaining tread.

• Standard tire: not less than 1.6 mm.

• Snow tire: 50% tire tread.
If the tread is below the specifications, the tire should be replaced.
