ABSTRACT:
A system is disclosed for selecting a replacement adjustment member, and aligning a pair of steerable wheels of a vehicle having a twin I-beam suspension. The steerable wheels are each associated with a suspension angle adjustment member that identifies an offset value and a pair of orientation values. Sensors are provided for generating angular displacement values for each of the steerable wheels. Based on the angular displacement values, a replacement offset value and a pair of orientation adjustment values are determined for each of the steerable wheels. The replacement offset value and the orientation adjustment values are subsequently usable for selecting and installing an appropriate replacement adjustment member on the twin I-beam suspension.
