PREPARING THE VEHICLE
FOR THE ALIGNMENT
OPERATION
For the wheel alignment operation to be carried
out correctly, all parts of the vehicle must conform
to the constructor's specifications; in particular,
it is important to check the tyre pressure and
eliminate any backlashes in the bearings and
ball joints.
Place the vehicle over the pit or on the lift
equipped for the alignment operations, taking
care to ensure that the turntables and oscillating
footboards are locked in position.
