5. Perform Alignment

| 00:00 | - Now it's time to actually put your changes into place and understandably, there's a process we need to follow here too. |
| 00:07 | The reason for this, is in most cases, adjusting one aspect of the wheel alignment will affect others. |
| 00:12 | For example, if we lower the ride height, that will affect our camber and potentially our toe. |
| 00:18 | Adjusting camber will in turn also affect toe and in some multi-link suspension setups, getting the correct toe and camber can be a frustrating iterative process where each adjustment affects both toe and camber simultaneously. |
| 00:32 | With this in mind, we're always going to want to start by setting our ride height if we will be adjusting this, s this will have a major effect on everything else and you can follow the practical skills module that covers this process. |
| 00:45 | The next task is to make any adjustments to our wheel base and track that may be required to ensure that this is even and consistent. |
| 00:53 | With the basics out of the way, we can then move on to setting our caster, camber and finally our toe. |
| 00:59 | As I've mentioned, each element of the alignment can affect the others so this can become an iterative process. |
| 01:06 | And it's always a good idea to come back and recheck every aspect of the alignment when you've finished making your changes. |
