Alignment: Service and Repair
Test Requirements

Wheel Alignment 

Test requirements 
^

Test equipment adjustment according to prescribed regulations

^

Tires inflated to correct pressure

^

Vehicle accurately aligned, suspension bounced and rocked several times

^

Check suspension, steering and steering linkage for excessive play and damage

^

Prescribed regulation for standing height of vehicle

Notes: 
^

Specified values for vehicle alignment are split up into five groups. The group to which a vehicle belongs is written on the vehicle data plate at
A-pillar in height of the central electric, or on the cover below the central electric on vehicles with 16" suspension.

^

Standing height and vehicle longitudinal tilt influence the test values. Therefore the standing height and the vehicle longitudinal tilt must be
measured or the standing height must be adjusted before checking/adjusting. Measure or adjust standing height, and measure vehicle longitudinal
tilt.

Notes: 
^

The actual load condition at the time of alignment is a deciding factor for the allocation of the specified values (empty, 1/2 net load, full load).

^

After driving the vehicle onto the alignment stand in a pointed angle, drive vehicle forward and backward several times in order to prevent tension
in the bonded rubber bushings.

^

When making adjustments the relevant specifications must be adhered to as closely as possible.

^

Wheels should not be aligned until the vehicle has been driven 1,000 - 2,000 km, since it takes this long to complete the settling procedures.
