Curb Load

NOTE:
^ Do not attempt to check and adjust front-wheel alignment without first making a preliminary inspection of the front end parts.
^ Check all the factors of front-wheel alignment, except the turning angle before making any adjustments. Check the turning angle only after camber and toe have been adjusted to specification.

Check the front-wheel alignment under the following curb load conditions:
^ Spare tire, wheel, jack and jack handle in position.
^ Front seats in rear-most position.
^ All other loading removed.
^ All tires inflated to specified pressure (cold).
^ All excessive mud, dirt and road deposit accumulation removed from chassis and underbody.
^ Fuel tank 1/2 full.
