Hi,

Good point, but also be sure to have a Full tank of Fuel and the spare and tools in the front at minimum. If you always drive with a greater load than this, then that should be present for the most accurate alignment (with the caveat that if you change this gross weight at any time, the alignment, feel and possibly tire wear will change as well, maybe imperceptibly so, but it will)...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
