Pre-Alignment Road Test With Customer

Pre-Alignment Road Test w/Customer
Perform a road test on the vehicle with the customer. The road test may help to identify many faulty parts:
- Worn control arm bushings
- Weak struts
- Loose power steering gear mounts
- Worn wheel bearings
- Unbalanced tires
Obvious conditions must be brought to the customer's attention before beginning an alignment.
