Alignment: Service and Repair
Adjustment Notes
Before measuring and setting front wheel alignment, rest front wheels on turn plates.
Before setting rear toe, rest rear wheels on slider plates or turn plates. Before setting any alignment angle, jounce the vehicle three times at each end to
establish trim height.
Special adapters are available for using a magnetic hub gauge at rear wheels. Depending on type of equipment used, these may not be necessary. After
removing hub cap and bearing cap, hub gauge will snap into place on brake drum. Magnetic mounting toe gauges may also be installed in the same
manner.
Always perform wheel alignment on a level alignment rack. Before doing alignment, check the following.
1.
Worn suspension parts.
2.
Standing curb height.
3.
Remove heavy weights from trunk.
4.
Wheel bearings.
5.
Full tank of gas.
6.
Place front seats in full rear position.
7.
Check rear toe adjustment.
8.
Always road test vehicle after adjusting alignment. If vehicle still pulls, switch front tires. If vehicle still pulls in same direction, check alignment
and rear tracking. If vehicle pulls in opposite direction, rotate tires, then road test again.
