AXLE ALIGNMENT (Continued).
(1)
Measure distance "D" (see illustration) from the kingpin centerpoint (1) to the centerline of
the axle spindle (2).
NOTE
It is recommended that spindle extensions be used to facilitate measurement
procedures.
(2)
Measure distance "D1" (see illustration) from the kingpin centerpoint (1) to the centerline of
the axle spindle (2) for the opposite side of the axle.
(3)
Compare the dimensions taken in Steps (1) and (2). If the dimensions "D" and "D1" are
equal, the axle is aligned. If the dimensions are not equal, the axle must be aligned.
Subtract the difference between dimension "D" and "D1" and divide the difference in half.
This is the amount change required to bring the axle into square with the kingpin.
