Thread: 2008 L322 Vogue wheel alignment

G'day Steve
I understood the D3 and L332 to be similar in terms of wheel alignment.

However I haven't done one on mine yet.

Thanks Pete

Looks like I'll have to ensure that the tyre place I use has the appropriate diagnostic tool to lock it into wheel alignment mode.

(Sorry to hear about your ZF transmission .. hope your repair bill isn't to exxie)

Cheers

I'm pretty sure that if you simply lock the suspension at standard height, any wheel aligner can check your alignment, without diagnostics.
If he jacks up a wheel to make adjustments, the suspension will probably react a little but should be all good when back on ground.

Just pull the compressor fuse when you drop it off?

If removing a fuse then make it the 20A suspension system fuse after you have exitted the vehicle with the engine still running for some 10 seconds to allow the height to adjust to your weight having been removed before removing the fuse.

There is no switch to lock at normal height.

Is the tyre wear due to worn suspension bushes?

Not sure about the 2008 models, but earlier 2002-2005 , you can lock std height by pressing the height selector rotary switch.

Re the bushes ..
It had a major service recently and no mention was made of worn bushes or the need to replace them in the near future ... it's only done a couple of thousand kms since so I don't think that would be an issue yet

As far as I'm aware I don't think you can lock this one at std height ..(from what I've read in the glove box manual). From what I can work out it can only be locked at access height.
