Underbody Misalignment Check: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Ford Pickup, 2006 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2006 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2006 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Underbody misalignment can be the result of damage or loose frame components. It can affect front and rear wheel alignment and cause incorrect operation and abnormal wear of tires and chassis parts.
NOTE: Refer to Body Builder's book for dimensional data when performing repairs on the cab or frame.
  1. Inspect the frame for damage and loose parts before checking the frame alignment.
  2. Inspect all crossmembers for cracks, twists or bends.
    • Inspect all of the welded connections for cracks. For repairs, refer to WELD ATTACHMENT .
    • Check all of the support brackets for looseness. If the brackets are loose, tighten to specification.
