Checking the transversal inclination of the vehicle
Checking the transversal inclination of the vehicle
Transversal inclination of the vehicle: „straight-ahead position“
It is possible the vehicle is skew if the measured values lie outside the tolerance for the front and rear axle → Chapter nominal values.
RHD vehicles or e. g. vehicles with an automatic gearbox may be slightly skew.
This is normal and is due to the fitting locations of the assemblies and the related weight transfer.
–  Deflect the vehicle repeatedly and allow the springs to return to their original position.
  Note
Only determine dimension -a- on the rear axle.
   
Determining dimension -a- for the left and right vehicle side.
-a-left - left vehicle side
-a-right- right vehicle side
α = 90°
–  Compare dimensions -a-left and -a-right.
   The deviation between -a-left and -a-right must not exceed 5.0 mm.
–  Correct any deviations outside the tolerance of 5.0 mm.
If the deviation is exceeded, e.g. 8,0 mm, correct the difference on the rear axle on the relevant side by placing weights in the boot.
   Suitable weights are e.g. sand bags approx. 10 kg
