Alignment

This week I learned how to set the alignment on a truck using "The common man's guide". The first step is to set the toe. When doing this you should drive the truck forward in a straight line so that it is sitting how it would be driving down the road. Then you check the toe by placing a bar on each wheel and taking a measurement from bar to bar. The measurement between the front wheels should be 1/16" les than the rear so that you have 1/16" toe in. The toe can adjusted by turning the bar that connects the tie rods.
