Preliminary Inspection

- Ensure vehicle has a full tank of gas when wheel alignment specifications are checked or adjusted. One full tank of gas is approximately 75 lbs.

- If tank is not full, this change in weight will affect curb height of vehicle and alignment specifications.

- Check and adjust tire pressure. Ensure all tires are the same size.

- Inspect all suspension components for looseness or damage. Components showing signs of wear or damage should be replaced before alignment.
