1.6 Vehicle Preparation
Drive the vehicle onto the alignment lift/rack until the front wheels are centered on the
turnplates.
Install wheel chocks to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
Raise the front and rear axles off the lift/rack. If your lift/rack does not have front and rear
axle jacks, raise the axle on which you will be performing the alignment.
Lower the lift/rack leveling legs if your lift/rack is so equipped, and then lower the lift/rack
onto the legs. If your lift/rack does not have leveling legs, lower the lift/rack onto the
lift/rack locks.
Check and adjust the tire pressure, inspect for unevenly worn or mismatched tires.
Inspect all suspension and steering linkage components for wear or damage. A thorough
inspection is important.
