Checking and Adjusting Front Wheel Toe-In
NOTE: Numbers in parentheses ( ) indicate a component or tool in the associated illustration.
INSPECTION
1. Fix steering wheel in center position
-
Use a support with soft foam steering wheels
-
Install holder (055) tool No. 129 589 01 21 00, or equivalent.
-
If the holder is installed for a long period, pressure marks on the steering wheel are avoided
2. Check center position of steering gear and steering wheel
-
The steering gear is in the center position when the clamping slot of the steering coupling and the marking line of the steering gear (1) are
opposite each other.
-
Offset the steering wheel by a maximum of one tooth, if necessary.
3. Install, then remove wheel spreader (030) on the inside of the wheel in the forward direction of travel
NOTE: The flexible mount of the wishbones results in a correspondingly large toe-in value which reduces to the correct dimension in the ready to
drive conditions
