Improper Cradle Position Can Effect Wheel Alignment, Driveline Angles, Tire Wear and Vehicle Stability

Provides Inspection and Correction of Cradle-to-Body Alignment Based on Factory Recommended Procedures
Many of today’s unibody vehicles use a cradle to support the engine and driveline assembly. Cradle position is designed to provide proper driveline, steering and suspension alignment. Any change from the manufacturer’s specified cradle position can affect alignment angles, tire wear, vehicle stability and driveline angles.		WinAlign® alignment software provides OEM recommended cradle inspection procedures for the specific vehicle being aligned.

Cradle Inspection and Alignment Using Standard WinAlign® Software Display provides a detailed illustration of the vehicle’s cradle assembly with key alignment points clearly identified. Screen lists the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended procedures for inspection and alignment. Additional displays with illustrations and instructions may be included as needed.
