Important: Set the front wheel alignment to the specifications while the vehicle
is in the normally loaded condition. The vehicles that are consistently operated
with the heavy loads should have toe-in adjusted with the vehicle under
the heavy load. This procedure should result in longer tire life.
The satisfactory vehicle operation may occur over a wide range of front
wheel alignment settings. If the settings vary beyond specified tolerances,
adjustments are necessary. Refer to
Wheel Alignment Specifications
.

1.1. | Install the alignment equipment according to the manufacturer's
