Suspension alignment, complete

Information

General procedure for wheel alignment

Perform wheel alignment using an electronic wheel alignment tester. Measurement procedures should be taken from the operating instructions for the
wheel alignment tester used.

In order to exclude erroneous measurements, the following preconditions must be met before alignment and the following points should be given
special attention:

Unladen weight of vehicle according to DIN 70020, i.e. vehicle in ready-to-drive condition with full tank and including tools but without driver or
additional weights.

Ball-joint and wheel-bearing play in order (wheel-bearing play cannot be adjusted). Tire pressure in accordance with regulations, fairly uniform tire
tread.

Quick-clamping holder with adapter (for the measured-value pickups) correctly secured to the wheels. Different procedure for vehicles (wheels) with
central bolts!

Use self-centering quick-clamping holders to secure the measured-value pickups on the wheels. Any previously used quick-clamping holders that are
available can also be used. Cannot be used for vehicles (wheels) with central bolts.
