Which check precedes an alignment measurement?

  • A.Inspection of the steering and suspension joints for wear
  • B.Adjustment of the toe to the middle of its range, which provides a known starting point for the measurement
  • C.A wheel balance
  • D.Removal of the steering damper, which would otherwise resist the movement of the wheels during the measurement

Answer: A

Aligning a vehicle with worn joints is pointless, because the settings will not be held and the measurement itself is unreliable. Worn components are replaced first. It is the single most common reason an alignment fails to cure a complaint. Naming the cost of a choice alongside its benefit is what turns a fact into a design decision. Checking which component actually carries the load settles most questions of this kind at once.
