Alignment: Description and Operation
Description

DESCRIPTION

NOTE: Suspension components with rubber/urethane bushings should be tightened with the vehicle at normal ride height. It is important to

have the springs supporting the weight of the vehicle when the fasteners are torqued. If springs are not at their normal ride position,
vehicle ride comfort could be affected and premature bushing wear may occur.

Wheel alignment involves the correct positioning of the wheels in relation to the vehicle. The positioning is accomplished through suspension and
steering linkage adjustments. An alignment is considered essential for efficient steering, good directional stability and to minimize tire wear. The most
important measurements of an alignment are caster, camber and toe.

CAUTION: Never attempt to modify suspension or steering components by heating or bending.
