INFORMATION

The need to perform a wheel alignment is generally dictated by a component replacement, such as a steering gear, or to address a customer complaint related to a vehicle's handling characteristics.

Many wheel alignment machines use a multicolored display to indicate alignment measurements, such as camber and toe. Some machines will display a reading in a red font to indicate that an adjustment is recommended. However, a red display in and of itself does not indicate that the vehicle falls outside of the alignment specifications. Since many of the alignment specifications include a tolerance or variation, always refer to the alignment specifications in the Repair Manual.

Please note that brand new vehicles and vehicles which have been suspended on a lift may exhibit some deviation from nominal specifications, due to the fact that the suspension has not fully settled.
