SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS
DIFFERENCE IN APPEARANCE
DescriptionINFOID:0000000006256016
While the vehicle is stopped, the difference of vehicle height of right side and left side (between wheel center
and wheel arch) is 25 mm (0.98 in) or more.
Inspection ProcedureINFOID:0000000006256017
1.CHECK APPEARANCE
1. Visually check that the exterior parts (e.g. suspension spring) have no malfunctions.
2. Visually check tube and pipe for crush or oil leakage.
Is the check result normal?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Repair or replace damaged parts.
2.CHECK CLOGGING OF ORIFICE IN PPMU
1. Install an oil pressure gauge (SST: KV40108000) (A) to oil injec- tion jack.
CAUTION:
 Clean surrounding areas of oi l injection jack using steam
before starting oper ation, since there may be mud on it.
 Clean oil pressure gauge (special service tool:
KV40108000) jack with steam before use.
 Jack must be securely inserted until a click sound can be heard.
 Pressure reducing valve (B) of the oil pressure gauge
must be closed.
2. Loosen needle valves A and C of PPMU by approximately 2 rotations for check changes in vehicle height.
CAUTION:
Never loosen the needle valve more than required.
3. Tighten needle valve A and C of PPMU to the specified torque after the inspection.
Does the vehicle height change 10 mm (0.39 in) or more?
YES >> For detailed inspection of clogging of orifice in PPMU, refer to SCS-27, "
