Note
The verb behind this form is the practical one: to straighten, level or align something. It is not the adjective of fact. The stem already ends in -e, so only -d is added, and one spelling serves both the simple past (she trued the wheel) and the participle (the rim was trued, has been trued). It often pairs with up: the frame was trued up before welding.
