NOTE:  Complete these steps only if a lateral adjustment is necessary.
C1.7  With the Bendix alignment tool still in place, use the Torx T-20 screwdriver to turn by hand the driver-side 

stand-off adjustment screw until the desired alignment is reached

Use a Torx T-20 screwdriver here to 

adjust for the lateral alignment

C1.8  Re-measure the distances from symmetrical points located at least 12” from the center line of the vehicle. 

Reverse the tool for each measurement, until the values are the same [within 1/8” (3 mm)].

C1.9  After  the  lateral  alignment  procedure  is  complete,  if  there  is  an  active  misalignment  DTC  (codes  55,  56, 

or 57), clear the Bendix

 Diagnostics software and follow steps B4.4-20 to reset the alignment 

value.    (Also, see Appendix H.)

C1.10 IMPORTANT: Before returning the vehicle to service, check the vertical alignment.

1.11  [The steel clip and alignment tool should already be in place.  See C1.1-2.]

C1.12  Calibrate (or “zero”) the inclinometer on a horizontal section of the frame rail.  Follow the manufacturer’s 

instructions (typically digital inclinometers have a “SET” button for this purpose).

Calibrate (or “zero”) the Digital Inclinometer on a 

Cab Frame Rail in the direction that the vehicle 

travels.
Place the calibrated digital inclinometer onto the 

surface of the tool, so that the tool is in the 
same direction as it was on the rail. Verify 
that the display shows 0° (± 1.5°) from vertical

.

NOTE:  Complete these steps only if a vertical adjustment is necessary.
C1.13  With the Bendix alignment tool still in place, use the screwdriver to turn 

by hand the top-left adjustment stand-off.  See the Figure on the right. 

During the adjustment, observe the digital display on the inclinometer 

and turn the vertical alignment screw clockwise or counterclockwise 

depending  on  the  vertical  direction  (up  or  down)  needed,  until  the 

reading is near zero degrees.

C1.14 The radar is aligned vertically when the display is near zero (0°).
 

Note: The  alignment  process  shown  here  is  for  Bendix  alignment 

brackets.  For other brackets, similar alignment steps will be needed; 

consult the vehicle manual for full instructions.
