LATERAL ALIGNMENT USING THE BENDIX ® ALIGNMENT CLIP AND TOOL (CONTINUED)
C1.4 Locate symmetrical points on the front of the vehicle that are at least 12 inches from the vehicle’s center line
(such as the tow hooks). Using a ruler or tape measure, record the distance from each side to the laser light
line.
LATERAL ALIGNMENT LEFT MEASUREMENT
NOTE: The technician must be careful during the laser positioning process to double-check the values measured on each
side of the truck. Be sure to check back and forth for each side of the radar sensor several times to ensure accuracy.
C1.5 Repeat the process for the opposite side, reversing the tool, so that the laser light points to the other side of
the vehicle.

C1.6 Compare the left and right distance measurements. A properly aligned radar sensor will have the same
measurement from each side. If these two dimensions are within 1/8” (3 mm), no alignment is necessary and
the technician can go to Step C1.10 to check the vertical alignment. If an adjustment is needed, follow the
instructions in C1.7-9 on page 42
