Rear Wheel & Axle Housing Alignment
- If rear tire wear indicates that axle housing may be bent, check alignment. Back vehicle squarely onto alignment machine. Compensate for wheel runout the same as for checking front wheel toe-in.NOTE: Because the vehicle is backed onto alignment machine, the actual toe-out will be read on the scale as toe-in. If tram (scuff) gauge is used to check toe-out, disregard this note.
- Check that camber reading is between 3 degrees negative to 5 degrees positive. Check that toe-in is between 0.0-.05 degrees (0-1/16"). If not within specification, straighten frame and/or related components as necessary.
NOTE:
Equipment used to straighten frame must allow rechecking of camber and toe-in without removing axle housing from vehicle.
