Front Wheel Alignment Specifications

The following charts indicate the acceptable range of alignment parameters after shipment from the assembly plant or aftermarket body-builder. (Note body-builders are responsible for assuring compliance with these specifications prior to sale to the final customer.)

Alignment can be checked at any time to help diagnose a problem. Always perform an inspection of the front end components and repair where necessary prior to attempting to adjust the alignment to specification. Refer to Front End in the Diagnosis and Testing portion of this section.

Vehicle conditions for checking alignment:

• No driver and/or passenger
• Full fluids
• All tires set to specified pressure
• All tire sizes comparable to original equipment
• Vehicle configured to normal operated conditions (not to exceed Max. Front GAWR, Max. Rear GAWR, and/or Max. GVW)
• Vehicles which exceed the maximum average caster value shown can result in shimmy concerns.
• Vehicles operated below the minimum average caster value shown may result in wander and poor steering returnability concerns.
