WARNING: Incorrect centralization may result in premature component failure. If in
doubt when centralizing the clockspring, repeat the centralizing procedure. Failure to
follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
CAUTION: Make sure the road wheels are in the straight ahead position.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Frame Assembly
Underbody misalignment can affect front and rear wheel alignment, the operation of the suspension
parts and drivetrain operation. Window glass cracks, door and window opening concerns, and air or
water leaks at the doors are often caused by improperly tightened bolts and body misalignment.
Every structural member and outer panel is designed to offer the maximum protection in the event of a
collision.
