    When you align the chassis, do you do it off the front clip?

    If you align off the front clip, how do you figure in the skewed frame,,, input the skewed numbers??

    Is the rear end square with the frame or the front clip according to the machine.

    Is the 0 thrust line thru the front clip or the main frame??

    I went to a automotive school 36 years ago and forgot how to run one; I use a tape measure now.
    Do you run a turned clip modified? -- -( My old car was yes. I have a o6 pierce now, I heard the front clip is turned but I'm not sure yet, haven't checked it yet.)

    When you align the chassis, do you do it off the front clip? ( The thrust line is off the rear axle, no matter where the front clip is turned the thrust line stays with the rear axle. Like a old fire engine with rear steer, the rear axle goes to the right and thrust line goes to the right.)

    Is the rear end square with the frame or the front clip according to the machine. The frame.

    Is the 0 thrust line thru the front clip or the main frame?? (The thrust line is where the axle is pointed, so if the thrust line is straight threw the chassis, the axle is squared under the chassis.)

    The first alignment rack I used was a bishmen I think, and a lite o line. An alignment rack is just another way to help do this.
