STEERING AXLES AND STEERABLE LIFT AXLES
Posted by Ross from Salt Lake City, UT, US on June 29, 2009
Hi, i just read ’section six’ of your total vehicle alignment brochure. I would read the rest but didn’t figure out how to get it yet. But, that isn’t the problem. According to a manufacturer of one type of lift axle that we use, they recomend an alignment of 1/16″ toe in. I see what you reccommend for steering axle alignment. However, on our Mack trucks would you recommend that the weight of the truck be on the wheels or would you rather it be jacked up to obtain the specified toe in? If it matters, we are running CH613s, CL613S, CHN613S and CXN613S.
Thank you,
Ross
We recommend that axle alignment be done with the vehicle loaded.
