WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Infiniti QX56. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Bounce the rear of the vehicle up and down two to three times to stabilize the vehicle height. Refer to "WHEELARCH HEIGHT (UNLADEN*1) ".
  2. Push the vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).
  3. Put a mark on the base line of the tread (rear side) of both of the tires at the same height as the center of the hub. This will be the measuring points.
  4. Measure the distance "A" (rear side) across from tire to tire.
