PRE-ALIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL ALIGNMENT CHECKS

Before adjusting wheel alignment, check the following:

* Each axle uses tires of same construction and tread style,

equal in tread wear and overall diameter. Verify that radial

and axial runout is not excessive. Inflation should be at

manufacturer’s specifications.

* Steering linkage and suspension must not have excessive play.

Check for wear in tie rod ends and ball joints. Springs must

not be sagging. Control arm and strut rod bushings must not

have excessive play. See Fig. 1.

Fig. 1: Checking Steering Linkage

* Vehicle must be on level floor with full fuel tank, no

passenger load, spare tire in place and no load in trunk.

Bounce front and rear end of vehicle several times. Confirm
