Check toe constant after it is adjusted
^
Now the wheel alignment analyzer will check the toe constant once more.
^
If the measured values are within the tolerance of the control value the second time they are checked, the adjustment is OK.
^
If the measured values are outside the control value it is necessary to adjust them once more in position B2 (+60 mm).
Note: For wheel bearing housings without a groove and tie rod ends with a ring, the upward adjustment travel is about 2 mm less. If the adjustment
travel is not sufficient, then the ring on the tie rod end should be removed.
