Front wheel geometry

FRONT WHEEL GEOMETRY

The wheel geometry must be checked after the components that affect it have been subjected to the following checks:

• tyre pressures;
• the eccentricity and out-of-true of the wheel rims must not exceed 3 mm;
• wheel bearing endfloat;
• clearance between vertical link and wishbone balljoint pin;
• tie-rod end play.

TOE-IN

See data in Sec. 00

CAMBER (non adjustable)

CASTER (non adjustable)

If, when checking the toe-in, the values measured are not as specified, slacken the steering tie-rod nuts and adjust the steering tie-rods.

If the wheel camber angle is not as specified, check the vehicle body shell.

Closely follow the instructions below whenever you adjust the front wheel toe-in:

• undo the clips securing the gaiters on the tie-rods;
• check that the gaiter turns freely on the tie-rod; if necessary remove the gaiter and lubricate with MOLYGUARD SYL 133 silicone grease or a similar product;
• tighten the clip after adjusting the toe-in and only after checking that the gaiter is in the correct position.
