Axle Alignment Dimensions
To insure proper tracking, the axle must be placed on the frame
perpendicular to the centerline of the vehicle. The accuracy
must be within plus or minus one half degree. For multiple axle
applications, each axle must be parallel with the others within one
sixteenth of an inch when measured at the wheel centers.
CAUTION: When laying out the position for the axle(s), measuring
from the front cross member should only be done if the cross
member has been checked for squareness to the frame centerline.
Any error in the cross member will be transferred to the axle and
can result in poor tracking and excessive tire wear.
