FRONT WHEEL GEOMETRY
The wheel geometry must be checked after subjected the components involved to the following checks:
- - tyre inflation pressure;
- - the eccentricity and squareness of the wheel rims (must not be more than 3 mm);
- - wheel bearing and float;
- - clearance between steering knuckle and suspension arm ball joint;
- - Steering rod ball joint clearance.
Toe in a - b 3 { - 2 ± 2 mm
- 4 ± 2 mm
camber α = { 1 ± 30′
(cannot be adjusted) 2°20′ ± 30 (*)
caster e = { 2°30′ ± 30′
3°30′ ± 30′ (*)
(*) For 4 x 4 version
The front toe in is adjusted by undoing the rod lock nut and tightening or loosening the steering rod until the correct toe in is achieved without altering the position of the steering wheel spokes.
REAR WHEEL GEOMETRY
The rear wheel geometry cannot be checked because the rear suspension is composed of a rigid tubular axle.
