OD number alignment

From past experience on old cars with questionable odometers, the initial alignment to change the numbers is not difficult, and usually not observable in the first 100-1000+ miles. The individual wheels, almost always, start to track unevenly. I don't mean if all your numbers are not in line, your odometer has been tampered with, this is normal for most cars with mechanical clocks. The changes of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. positions become out of linear through many factors, wear and abuse being leading causes.

To expect baseline results... You must have baseline conditions
