Enough can not be said about the potential differences in alignment experiences, and the importance a good alignment can make in your driving experience. Here are a few old posts to help you with the process. More posts are available by doing a SEARCH of our old posts. The most important advice I can give is have a complete understanding of the process outlined in your manual.

1941 Front End Alignment

1941 Front End Alignment #2

Good luck, Mike
