Adjusting camber

Adjusting caster

The caster is not adjustable on standard vehicles.

Adjusting toe

Preliminary work: Check whether the steering wheel is displaced with respect to the steering gear. To do this, centre the steering gear as described
below.

Turn wheels to the straight-ahead position.

Then re-adjust the front wheel alignment, if necessary, until bolt -2- in driver -1- and the lug on the steering gear housing -4- line up.

Steering in centre position

No. 3 is the desired breaking point for bolts in new steering gears. The (new) bolt -2- is inserted into driver -1- and lies with its underside in lug -4-.
This locks the steering gear in the centre position. After installation of a new steering gear, the lower part of the bolt is sheared off (at desired breaking
point -3-) by turning the steering wheel. The upper part of the bolt -2- remains in the driver.
