Check wheel alignment as follows :-
Set wheels in a straight ahead position, and at points level with wheel centre, measure distance
between edges of wheel rims both in front and behind axle centre.
For correct alignment front measurement (` A') shoul be 0" to 1/16 " smaller than that of rear (` B')
d
ie. toe -in. To allow for inaccuracies in wheels, same checks should be made with vehicle moved so that
wheels have moved a further half a revolution (see fig no. 37).
