When in doubt, check the service manual.... I use the one on the front page of the forum:pawjr74 wrote:So is the pathfinder supposed to be weighted when doing an alignment? (Like BMW) I've never seen a local tire shop put weights in a vehicle.
Page FSU-20 states that wheel alignment should be done 'unladen' which is defined as Fuel, Radiator Coolant, and Engine Oil are full, and the spare tire, hand jack and floor mats are in their designated positions.
Page FSU-21 has the spec for unladen wheel arch height. For my SE 4x4 with 265/75/R16, the height should be 34.96" in front and 35.35" in the rear. Going to measure it when I get back from my business trip on Friday!
