VIN: ALL
CONDITION SUMMARY:
STEERING WHEEL ALIGNMENT DIAGNOSIS
This bulletin is to provide diagnostic clarification for steering wheel alignment during the initial vehicle preparation inspection road test.
Situation:
Steering wheel alignment is set during build and has a tolerance of +/- 3° as nominal. Road surfaces with excessive camber variation, road wheel curb
strikes, or other accidental damage can lead to mis-diagnosis of steering wheel misalignment.
Action:
The process detailed below provides information to prevent unnecessary adjustments of the steering wheel alignment.
PARTS:
No parts required. Information purposes only.
WARRANTY:
NOTE:
The information in this bulletin is provided for diagnosis, evaluation and EPQR reporting of steering wheel alignment during initial vehicle
preparation activities.
Normal warranty policy and procedures apply.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
EVALUATION OF STEERING WHEEL ALIGNMENT
NOTE:
*
GTR lookup sequence is as follows:
GTR Home > NAS > Service Information/LA - LR3/2006/Workshop Manuals > Discovery 3 / LR3 2005 Workshop Manual > Bookmark "Chassis/
Suspension/204-00: Suspension System - General Information/General Procedures" Link "Four-Wheel Alignment (57.65.04)"
1.
Refer to GTR section 204-05: Vehicle Dynamic Suspension, Ride Height Adjustments (60.90.03) and ensure vehicle ride height is set to nominal
specifications
2.
Refer to GTR section 204-00 - Four-Wheel Alignment (57.65.04) and ensure vehicle geometry is set to specification.*
NOTE:
Extreme care must be taken to ensure the influence of road camber does not adversely influence the perceived steering wheel alignment. If
feasible, check in both directions of the road used during the assessment.
3.
Assess the steering wheel alignment for level spokes, when steering straight ahead on a level surface.
4.
If the steering wheel alignment error is less than +/- 3° no further action is required.
