2001 Chevy Malibu Wheel Alignment Specs
The 2001 Chevrolet Malibu was a four-door sedan with a maximum horsepower of 170 hp at 5200 rpm. The car takes P215/60R15 tires. You should rotate your tires to prevent uneven wear. This helps you get more mileage out of the tires. After rotating or changing tires, you should align your vehicle for better steering and handling.
Camber Angles
The camber angles in both the front and rear should ideally be -0.2. However, they can be aligned anywhere between -0.5 degrees and 0.5 degrees.
Caster Angle
The caster angle on the 2001 Malibu can be from 3.1 to 5.1 degrees. The optimal alignment is at 4.1 degrees.
Toe-In Alignment
The toe-in angle should be in the -0.15 to 0.35 degree range. Ideally, it should be at 0.1 degrees. In the rear, the toe-in angle should be between -0.26 and 0.14 degrees. The optimal toe-out angle is 0.06 degrees.
Ride Height
After aligning the tires, check the ride height of the 2001 Malibu. Ride height is also known as ground clearance. The distance between the center of the front axle to the ground should be 32.2 inches. The bottom of the rocker panel should be 9.33 inches off the ground. The distance between the bottom of the ball joint and the bottom of the frame rail should be zero inches. The center of the rear axle should be 25 inches from the ground.
