Wheel alignment specifications Front-wheel drive and four-wheel drive These specifications are applicable for all engines. On right-hand drive vehicles with standard running gear (1BA), the camber setting at the front wheels must be calculated as a function of the vehicle height and adjusted accordingly → Anchor.

1)  The wheel on the outside of a curve is turned in less than the inside wheel. This value shows the difference in the steering angles. It can be displayed as a negative value on the wheel alignment computer, depending on the manufacturer. 2)  On right-hand drive vehicles with standard running gear (1BA), the camber setting at the front wheels must be calculated as a function of the vehicle height and adjusted accordingly → Anchor.

Camber settings at front wheels for right-hand drive vehicles with standard running gear (1BA)

On right-hand drive vehicles with standard running gear (1BA), the camber setting at the front wheels must be calculated as a function of the vehicle height and adjusted accordingly. –  Measure height of vehicle -a- at both front wheels between centre of wheel and bottom edge of wing panel. l  Maximum permissible difference in height between right and left ≤ 10 mm Determine camber setting:    Camber setting = -43′ + ( vehicle height, left + vehicle height, right 2  – 391)   Note 1′ camber = 1 mm vehicle height The camber settings are specified again in the following table as a function of the mean vehicle height measurement at the front wheels.
