Two-Wheel Centerline Alignment
The purpose of a Two-wheel Centerline alignment is to align the front wheels to the
theoretical centerline of the vehicle. This is accomplished by adjusting the front wheels to
match up with the centerline of the vehicle.
The following should be completed before making any measurements or adjustments:
1)
Equipment should be checked for calibration.
2)
The full weight of the vehicle must be on its wheels.
3)
The suspension must be inspected.
4)
Wheel clamps must be installed on the front wheels.
5)
Run-Out must be completed on the wheel clamps.
6)
Adjustments for caster, camber, and SAI should have already been completed.
Reading Toe Procedure:
1)
Lock steering wheel in the center position.
2)
Hang the TLT-36 and TLT-37 Laser Guns on the front of the vehicle and secure
them by gently pushing down on the laser gun until a small click is heard or felt.
Level and lock the guns so they are pointed at the Centering Targets. Zero the
toe dials and turn them on.
3)
Adjust the cross-toe laser beam on the TLT-37 until it hits the mirror of the
TLT-36.
4)
Adjust the toe dial of the TLT-36 until the Laser Beam drops back in the hole of
the TLT-37.
5)
Read the toe dial of the TLT-36, this is twice what the total front toe of the
vehicle is. I.E. if the toe dial reads, 1/8” in, the actual total front toe is, 1/16’ in.
Two-Wheel Centerline Alignment Procedure:

3)
Hang the TLT-36 and TLT-37 Laser Guns on the front of the vehicle and secure them by
gently pushing down on the laser gun until a small click is heard or felt. Level and lock
the guns so they are pointed at the Centering Targets.
a.
Turn the Laser Guns on and point them at the Centering Targets at which
