Best advise:
1.> Go to and/or join http://www.yahoogroups.com and search for <ev_update>. If
you own a Eurovan then this is the Mecca.
2.> Go to dealer and grab the soap on this one.
3.> Pay $150. for the two volume Official Factory manuals and then see the
previous option ( 2.> )


What the Official Manual Says:
Alignment specs for the 92-99 Eurovans are at my elbow. Oh-fish-al Factory
Repair Manual: Volume2, Section N, Pgs44-1 through 44-18. Will not attempt to
do the play by play but will mention that the years covered by this manual are
divided into 4 groups with codes given on a sticker located on the USA drivers
side A Pillar (behind the kick panel) at the height of the "central electric".
Ellis says that this is just below the dash inboard of the accordian looking
rubber hinge/electric bellows cover that spans between the body and the door.
On the sticker, below the UPC scan codes are two lines of text. The right side
of the top line should be something like "LEXUS 4 VR6UT" The numeral is the
group in which the vehicle belongs.
Beyond that the manual shows excrusiating details, specs and special tools.

Bottom line: It doesn't look like the old splitty bus tape measure and crescent
wrench adjustment. I'd roll over and go the the dealer on this one.
Regards,
Jim Ellis

Unca Joel asked:
got a fellow who's not on the list with a 99 EV-bago pop-top camper,
and he needs to know where he can find the alignment specs for his
bus. the alignment folks are acting stupid and claim they can't find
any specs for his bus.
