Default As Plumb she be...

So Sat. with my guiding light's in Gardiner, we got talking about checking front/rear wheels, alignment ect. It was brought up that after I had set and got my rear spring into place to check my wheel center measurements in an "X" configuration.

This is how I did it. Centering a plumb on the outside of the wheel's and keeping it centered through the spindle's to the floor I marked all four wheel's. Next measured LF to RR and RF to LR I used the 1" mark on the front's and both readings were 131", actually 130". She passed the test
