Why is marking the case halves for orientation important during disassembly?

Marking the case halves for orientation during disassembly is crucial to ensure proper reassembly alignment. When working with complex mechanical components, such as those found in trucks and transport vehicles, each part must return to its exact original position during reassembly. If the case halves are not properly aligned, it can lead to misalignment of internal components, affecting the overall functionality and performance of the assembly. Additionally, misalignment could potentially cause premature wear or failure of the components. Therefore, taking the time to mark these parts during disassembly helps mechanics maintain the correct configuration, preventing future issues and ensuring that the system operates as intended once reassembled.
