Title: front alignment...do i need full gas tank
Post by: shamrock on August 02, 2010, 08:41:56 pm

My car is pulling a little to the right after switching the steering rack and I need to get it realigned.  Is it recommended for me to do the front alignment with a full tank of gas?  How about with me sitting in the drivers seat?  I remember reading somewhere that the alignment figures relate to a car with full gas tank, driver and stored spare tire.

whilst different weights of fuel will alter it slightly, id imagine it would be minimal.

on average id bet your car has more like half a tank of fuel in it.  Not often that poeple have a full tank of :happy2: fuel
