Vehicles in „zero“ transverse tilting position
If the alignment values are outside the permitted tolerances, the cause may be incorrect vehicle inclination
Vehicles with steering wheel on the right or, for example, vehicles with automatic transmission can lean to one side slightly
This is due to the installation position of the assemblies and their associated weight transfer, and this is normal
–  Then, it is absolutely necessary to measure the distance -„a“- from the left and right sides.
   
The -line 0- on the roof indicates the horizontal (zero) position of the vehicle.
  Note
Illustrative figure, valid for all models.
–  Correct the differences, if necessary.
On the front axle, compensate this difference by adding weights on top of the relevant suspension tower.
On the rear axle, compensate this difference by adding weights to the respective side of the boot.
Sandbags, approx. weight 10 kg are appropriate for this purpose.
