WHEEL ALIGNMENT

CHECKING THE FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT

• Inflate the tyres to the specified pressure.
• Fill with fuel and the specified oils and fluids.
• Set the car on a lift.
• Sway the car a few times to settle the suspensions.

1. Position the reference tool on the on the car resting surface.
2. Using a surface gauge measure the distance "A" between the car resting surface and the centre of the steering knuckle fastening screw.
   • With the help of a millimetre rule measure the distance found.
3. Using the surface gauge measure the distance "B" between the car resting surface and the centre of the wishbone pin.
   • With the help of the millimetre rule measure the distance found.

– Calculate the difference between dimension "B" and dimension "A" and check that it is with the specified limits.

NOTE: If the alignment values are not within the specified values change both suspension springs.

CHECKING THE REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT

• Inflate the tyres to the specified pressure.
• Fill with fuel and the specified oils and fluids
• Set the car on a lift.
• Sway the car a few times to settle the suspensions.

1. Position the reference tool on the car resting surface.
2. Using a surface gauge measure the distance "C" between the car resting surface and the fulcrum of the spring carrier arm.
   • With the help of a millimetre rule measure the distance found.
3. Using the surface gauge measure the distance "D" between the car resting surface and the rear wheel centre.
   • With the help of the millimetre rule measure the distance found.

– Calculate the difference between dimension "C" and dimension "D" and check that it is with the specified limits.
