PRE-WHEEL ALIGNMENT INSPECTION
Before any attempt is made to change or correct
the wheel alignment factors. The following part
inspection and the necessary corrections should be
made to those parts which influence the steering of
the vehicle.
(1) Check and inflate all tires to recommended
pressure. All tires should be the same size and in
good condition and have approximately the same
wear. Note the type of tread wear which will aid in
diagnosing, see Wheels and Tires, Group 22.
(2) Check front wheel and tire assembly for radial
runout.
(3) Inspect lower ball joints and all steering link-
age for looseness.
(4) Check for broken or sagged front and rear
springs.(5) Check vehicle ride height to verify it is within
specifications.
(6) AlignmentMUSTonly be checked after the
vehicle has the following areas inspected and or
adjusted. Recommended tire pressures, full tank of
fuel, no passenger or luggage compartment load and
is on a level floor or a properly calibrated alignment
rack.

Front suspension Caster and Camber settings on
this vehicle are determined at the time the vehicle is
designed. This is done by determining the precise

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)

leaks are not present. The component should be
replaced immediately if there is any evidence of deg-
radation that could result in failure.
Never attempt to repair a plastic fuel line/tube or a
quick±connect fitting. Replace complete line/tube as
necessary.
Avoid contact of any fuel tubes/hoses with other
vehicle components that could cause abrasions or
scuffing. Be sure that the fuel lines/tubes are prop-
erly routed to prevent pinching and to avoid heat
sources.
The lines/tubes/hoses are of a special construction.
If it is necessary to replace these lines/tubes/hoses,
use only original equipment type.
The hose clamps used to secure the rubber hoses
are of a special rolled edge construction. This con-
struction is used to prevent the edge of the clamp
from cutting into the hose. Only these rolled edge
type clamps may be used in this system. All other
types of clamps may cut into the hoses and cause
fuel leaks.
Where a rubber hose is joined to a metal tube
(staked), do not attempt to repair. Replace entire
line/tube assembly.
Use new original equipment type hose clamps.
Tighten hose clamps to 2 N´m (20 in. lbs.) torque.
QUICK-CONNECT FITTINGSÐLOW PRESSURE
TYPE
Different types of quick-connect fittings are used to
attach various fuel system components. These are: a
single-tab type, a two-tab type or a plastic retainer
ring type (Fig. 8). Refer to Quick-Connect Fittings in
the Removal/Installation section for more informa-
tion.
CAUTION: The interior components (o-rings, spac-
ers) of quick-connect fitting are not serviced sepa-
rately, but new pull tabs are available for some
types. Do not attempt to repair damaged fittings or
fuel lines/tubes. If repair is necessary, replace the
complete fuel tube assembly.
HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL LINES
CAUTION: The high±pressure fuel lines must be
held securely in place in their holders. The lines
cannot contact each other or other components. Do
not attempt to weld high±pressure fuel lines or to
repair lines that are damaged. Only use the recom-
mended lines when replacement of high±pressure
fuel line is necessary.
High±pressure fuel lines deliver fuel under pres-
sure of up to approximately 45,000 kPa (6526 PSI)
from the injection pump to the fuel injectors. Thelines expand and contract from the high±pressure
fuel pulses generated during the injection process. All
high±pressure fuel lines are of the same length and
inside diameter. Correct high±pressure fuel line
usage and installation is critical to smooth engine
operation.
WARNING: USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN
INSPECTING FOR HIGH±PRESSURE FUEL LEAKS.
INSPECT FOR HIGH±PRESSURE FUEL LEAKS WITH
A SHEET OF CARDBOARD. HIGH FUEL INJECTION
PRESSURE CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY IF
CONTACT IS MADE WITH THE SKIN.
FUEL DRAIN TUBES
These rubber tubes are low±pressure type.
Some excess fuel is continually vented from the
fuel injection pump. During injection, a small amount
of fuel flows past the injector nozzle and is not
injected into the combustion chamber. This fuel
drains into the fuel drain tubes (Fig. 9) and back to
the tee banjo fitting, which is connected to the same
line as the overflow valve, which allows a variable
quantity to return to the fuel tank. The overflow
valve is calibrated to open at a preset pressure.
Excess fuel not required by the pump to maintain the
minimum pump cavity pressure is then returned
through the overflow valve and on to the fuel tank
through the fuel return line.
