FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT

CHECKING FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT
Correct front wheel alignment produces easy,
positive steering with a minimum of scuffing
action between tire and road. Normally, when
checking front wheel alignment, car should be
empty (all luggage or load should be removed).
If a constant load is carried, such as when a
car is used by salesman for carrying samples,
etc.,
car should be loaded with its normal
amount of weight before checking front wheel
alignment.
All factors of front wheel alignment are in-
terrelated, but each angle has specific purpose.
Four different angles are used in positioning
front wheels for proper steering under varying
conditions of weight and speed. Position car so
that all four wheels are on the same level, in-
spect tires for wear and inflate to recommended
pressure. Refer to Section XVII, Wheels and
Tires.
Check for wheel wobble, unbalanced
wheel and tire assemblies, weak or damaged
springs, bent frame, worn, damaged or bent
front suspension parts, loose or damaged steer-
ing gear parts, and dragging brakes. For pro-
cedure of checking height of front springs, refer
to Paragraph 10, Front Wheel Suspension, Sec-
