Check alignment of tire assembly by placing a block of wood or other object on the ground
at the side of the tire and rotate the wheel. If the distance between the block of wood and

correct loosen the nut on the side with the greatest deviation and tighten the nuts on the
opposite side. Recheck the torque and the alignment.
