FRONT'SUSPENSION
AND
ALIGNMENT
The
term
"front
alignment"
refers
to
the
angular
relationships
between
the
front
wheels,
the
front
suspension
attaching
parts
and
the
ground.
Several
factors
can
affect
front
alignment, including
.. tire
inflation
pressures,
wheel
bearing condition, steer-
ing
and
suspension
components.
The·
following
cheCKS
can
indicate
problems
that
sh()uld be
corrected.
1.
Check
all
tires
for
proper
inflation
pressures
and
approximately
the
same
tread
wear.
2.
If
the
unit
is
equipped
with
air
suspension
com-
ponents,
be
sure
to
inspect,them

Package.
Be
sure
to
keep
them

the'
recommended
pressures.

a
difference
in
the
ride
height
between
right
and
left
sides
of
the
vehicle.
NOTE:
Excessive
or
unevenly
distributed
loads
also
affect
ride
height
and alignment. This should
be
taken
into
consideration
when
making
the
check.
Also,
if
the
motor
home
is
equipped
with
air
bag
cylinders,
it
is
important
that
the
cylinders
be
inflated
to
the
proper
pressure
for
the
load

being carried
in
order
to
maintain
adequate
ride
height.
