Alignment Adjustments

Hey there,

I ordered an original J-38658 from a closed Gm store. I plan on doing Caster/Camber and toe adjustments on our Hunter machine here at work. Question is, given the car will be on the slip plates, adjustments using this tool can all be done with cars weight on the rack, I wont need to jack it up to adjust anything right? Then Caster sweep and recheck until desired readings are acquired?

Thanks!

Based on what I remember, I think you are correct.

You will not have to lift the car once it's on the rack. That tool makes it super easy to adjust caster and camber.
