1. Check suspension/steering components for wear or damage.
2. Check if the cradle is bent.
3. Check tension strut bushings for wear or damage.
4. Check lower control arms for worn ball studs, worn bushings, or bent arms. Check steering gear for wear or damage.
6. Check inner and outer tie rod ends for wear or damage.
7. Check trim height. Height must be within specifications before setting alignment.
8. Check strut assemblies for wear, binding, or bents.
