Wheel alignment
2.1
Notes for wheel alignment
Wheel alignment may only be performed using wheel alignment
units approved by the Workshop Equipment department.
All of the information about wheel alignment can be gleaned
from the wheel alignment computer.
Vehicles pulling to one side and accident vehicles:
This may be due to the rack in the steering rack not being
exactly centred when vehicle is driven straight ahead.
Power steering assistance is thereby slightly one sided, rather
than central.
The vehicle will pull to one side as a consequence.
