Adjustment Notes

Always adjust rear toe before setting front alignment angles.

Before measuring and setting front wheel alignment, rest front wheels on turn plates.
Before setting rear toe, rest rear wheels on slider plates or turn plates. Before setting any alignment angle, jounce the vehicle three times at each end to establish trim height.
Special adapters are available for using a magnetic hub gauge at rear wheels. Depending on type of equipment used, these may not be necessary. After removing hub cap and bearing cap, hub gauge will snap into place on brake drum. Magnetic mounting toe gauges may also be installed in the same manner.
Always perform wheel alignment on a level alignment rack. Do not attempt to check or adjust front wheel alignment without first inspecting front end components.
Check all factors of front wheel alignment except turning angle before making any adjustments. Check the turning angle only after camber and toe have been adjusted to specification. Check front wheel alignment under following curb load conditions:
1. Establish standing curb height.
2. Remove heavy weights from trunk.
3. Ensure all tires are inflated to specification (cold).
4. Ensure Fuel tank, oil reservoir and radiator are filled to specification. If necessary, add six pounds of weight to trunk for each gallon of gasoline missing from tank.
5. Place front seats in full rear position.
6. Check rear toe adjustment.
7. Always road test vehicle after adjusting alignment. If vehicle still pulls, switch front tires. If vehicle still pulls in same direction, recheck alignment and rear tracking. If vehicle pulls in opposite direction, rotate tires, then road test again.
