PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
1. Road test vehicle noting any abnormal steering or handling characteristics.
2. Ensure tires are the proper type, correctly inflated and that tires on each axle are the same size.
3. Inspect ball joints, suspension arms, bushings and tie rods, and repair or replace any component that is damaged or excessively worn.
4. Ensure wheel run-out is not excessive, and that wheel bearings are properly adjusted.
5. Jounce vehicle several times to settle suspension.
6. Place vehicle on suitable alignment rack following manufacturer's instructions.
7. Check and correct alignment angles in the following sequence: Rear toe and camber, caster, front camber and front toe.
8. Correct any angle that is not within specifications. If no adjustment is possible, check for damaged or worn suspension components and/or
damaged or distorted chassis and correct as needed.

CASTER
Caster has been factory adjusted, and requires no adjustment.
TOE-IN
Adjust toe-in by releasing tie rod clips, and turning right and left tie rod jam nut, in opposite directions, and equal amount.
