The distance between front axle components and tires (arrow) must be the same at full lock (full turn left/right).
If the distances are unequal, this can be corrected by turning left/right tie rod.
Example:
Right steering lock smaller than left;
-
Loosen toe rod lock nuts.
-
Turn left tie rod counter-clockwise (unscrew tie rod end).
-
Turn tie rod, right side equal amount to left but in opposite direction (turns tie rod end in).
-
Check total toe.
Check total toe is still set to prescribed specifications after completing adjustments!
-
Tighten lock nuts.
After tightening lock nut -1- it is possible that the value will change slightly.
If the set value does not deviate by more than 2° from specification, the setting is OK.
After turning tie rods, make sure that the tie rod boots are not twisted.
Ride Height
Vehicle trim height, "Zero position"
In general!
If a value lies outside the tolerance, the vehicle's trim height must be checked first.
If the measured values are outside the allowed tolerances, the cause may be an incorrect vehicle attitude.
Right-hand drive vehicles or for example vehicles with automatic transmission can lean to one side slightly.
This is due to the installation position of components and weight distribution
