Thrust Angle: Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Subaru Forester. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
  2. Move the vehicle 3 to 4 m (10 to 13 ft) directly forward.
  3. Determine the center lines of front axle loci and rear axle loci.
  4. Measure the distance "L" between center line of loci of the axles.
    1. Thrust angle:  Less than 30' when "L" is less than 22 mm (0.9 in).
