accessories, the wheel positions can be altered so that the
specified alignment is no longer maintained while driving. |

vehicle stationary during wheel alignment, the changed vehicle
height and wheel positions can cause the wheel suspension to
move differently when driving. |
| Uneven wear is then unavoidable. |
