Vehicle Setup

Alignment can be checked at any time to help diagnose a problem. Always perform an inspection of the front end components and repair where necessary prior to attempting to adjust the alignment to specification.

Vehicle conditions for checking alignment:
^ no driver and/or passenger
^ full fluids
^ all tires set to specified pressure all tire sizes comparable to original equipment
^ vehicle configured to normal operated conditions (not to exceed max. front GAWR, max. rear GAWR. and/or max. GVW)
^ Vehicles which exceed the maximum average caster value shown can result in shimmy concerns.
^ Vehicles operated below the minimum average caster value shown can result in wander and poor steering returnability concerns.
