Preliminary Inspection

PRELIMINARY CHECKS

For proper inspection/adjustment of the wheel alignment, check and adjust the following before checking the alignment.
- Check that the suspension is not modified.
- Check the tire size and tire pressure.
- Check the runout of the wheels and tires.





- Check the suspension ball joints. (Hold the wheel with your hands, then move it up and down, and right and left, to check for wobbling.)
