Alignment: Service and Repair
Pre-Alignment Road Test With Customer
Perform a road test on the vehicle with the customer. The road test may help to identify many faulty parts such as:
-
Control arm bushings
-
Shock dampeners
-
Power steering gear mounts
-
Wheel bearings
-
Tires
Obvious conditions must be brought to the customer's attention before beginning an alignment. A waddle feeling in the back of the vehicle often
indicates the occurrence of a bent rim and/or a belt shift in 1 of the rear tires. Vibration in the steering wheel or in the floor pan is often the result of
static imbalance or radial runout of the front tires.
