Wheel alignment
Warning
Risk of accident due to incorrect functioning of steering angle sensor if it is uncalibrated or incorrectly calibrated.
^
There is a risk of accidents causing physical damage to persons or objects in the PSM testing area.
-> After working on wheel suspension parts, when replacing the steering-angle sensor and after changing the wheel alignment values, calibrate the
steering angle sensor with the front wheels in straight-ahead position using the PIWIS tester.
-> Check the actual value of the steering angle sensor after a suspension alignment where no changes were made to the wheel alignment values.
Notes
Only check or adjust wheel-alignment values when prescribed preconditions are met.
If the vehicle is measured front and rear, check and adjust the rear axle first. After adjustment, tighten the appropriate screw connections to the
prescribed tightening torque.
The steering-angle sensor must be calibrated if the previous wheel alignment values (on rear and/or front axle) were changed!
Rear axle
Preliminary work
Prepare vehicle for checking and/or adjustment of wheel alignment values. Place front wheels on rotary table and rear wheels on rotary / sliding plates.
Compress vehicle at front and rear axles by approximately 25 mm 2-3 times and allow it to spring back freely.
