The Alignment Process

THE ALIGNMENT PROCESS

IMPORTANT: Use only the alignment specifications listed.

^ When displaying the alignment settings, many alignment machines use indicators: (Green/red, plus or minus, Go/No Go). Do NOT use these indicators.
- The alignment specifications programmed into your machine that operate these indicators may not be correct.
- This may result in an ERROR.
^ Some newer alignment machines are equipped with an optional Rolling Compensation method to compensate the sensors (alignment targets or head units). DO NOT use this Rolling Compensation method.
- Use the Jacking Compensation Method. After installing the alignment targets or head units, raise the vehicle and rotate the wheels 1/2 turn both ways.
- See Instructions in the alignment machine you're using for more information on this.
