All wheel alignment readings must be performed on an alignment rack level to within 1.59 mm (1/16 inch) side-to-side and front-to-rear. The instrumentation used must have the means to compensate for wheel runout. The alignment rack must be level and the vehicle front wheels positioned on swivel plates.

EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION

If using magnetic type hub gauges, the hub grease cap must be removed and replaced with hub gauge adapters.
Clip-On Gauges
Clip-on type gauges may be seated directly on the face of the front wheel bearing bore once the front hub grease cap is removed.
