Wheel alignment involves the correct positioning of the wheels in relation to the vehicle. The positioning is accomplished through suspension and steering linkage adjustments. An alignment is considered essential for efficient steering, good directional stability and to minimize tire wear. The most important measurements of an alignment are caster, camber and toe position.
CAUTION:
Never attempt to modify suspension or steering components by heating or bending.
NOTE:
Periodic lubrication of the front suspension/steering system components may be required. Rubber bushings must never be lubricated. Refer to MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES for the recommended maintenance schedule.
