Find two 24" long bars, these could be a level, a square

or a straight piece of iron bar. Clamp one bar tight to the face
of each hub with 12" extending forward and backward of the
center of the spindle. The bars must be parallel to the platform
the car sits on. Measure across the back end of the bars and
then across the front end. The front measurement should be
1/32" to 1/16" less than the back measurement. If the unit
needs to be adjusted, this must be done by adjusting the tie
rod.
