Mousuro tho exact height of the center cen-ter of the hubs of the front wheels from the ground, nnd drive a long nnll or screw through the upper pnrt f each trlnngle so thnt the point of the screw will be nt tho same height as the. ctmter of tho hub. This Is Important. Impor-tant. See thnt the car Is standing on n level lev-el spot n concrete floor Is best. Place the scantling under the enr so tnnt tlie tip of the fixed screw touches the Inside In-side rim of tho wheel nt the rear edge. Tnko tho movable trlnngle nnd slide It along until the tip of tho movable scrow touches the Inside rim of tho opposite op-posite wheel. Mnrk this position on the bcnntllng. Now move the nppnrntus to the front of the wheels nnd jtnko nnother measurement meas-urement of the dlstnnco between rims, marking on tho scantling as before. The difference between tho two mnrks on the scantling will show how much the wheels are out of true, and this can be corrected by chnnglng the adjustment ad-justment on the cross connection between be-tween tho steering arms. To make tho car Bteer easily nnd hold tho road closely, tho front wheels should not bo exactly pnrnllel, but Bhould "toe In" slightly that Is,. tho dlstnnce between the rims nt the height of tho hub should bo about one-qunrter Inch less at tho front of the wheels thnn nt the back. |
