spec is 1/8", is this measured at the centerline of the rim edge or tire tread? Need to replace tie rod ends and at the same time going to drop the pan and replace lower main seal. Hopin' it's the lower seal and not the upper. If it's the upper guess it's time to give the engine and engine compartment a fresh coat of paint.

Last time I had the 52 checked, the alignment guy drew a line around the center of the tread of the tire. He had a tool that held chalk for this purpose.
