Set up the test equipment on the front and rear wheels. Set up the test equipment according to the instructions. Position the turntables under the front
wheels. Use turntables which take up lateral movement.

Note! The car must stand level when the front wheels are on the turntables. This is to ensure that the correct values are obtained when checking
the camber and caster.

Bounce the front and rear suspension heavily a few times when the car has sunk onto the turntables. This is so that the suspension resumes the normal
setting.

Note! Check that none of the turntables is approaching its limit position.

Checking the rear camber angle

Check the camber angle on both sides.
For the correct values for each model, see  Wheel cambers.  See: Specifications/Alignment Specifications 

Checking rear toe angle

Note! Always check thrust angle when checking/adjusting rear toe angle.
