S40 L5-2.4L VIN 38 B5244S4 (2004)
Check that the instruments are calibrated to one another on the front and rear axle. This is extremely important in order to be able to adjust toe angle of
the rear wheels in relation to the car's thrust line (geometrical driving axis).
The thrust line is the line created when the toe-in angles for the rear wheels are equally divided (see the illustration).
The difference between the symmetry line of the wheels and the thrust line is called the thrust angle. The thrust angle must not deviate by more than a
maximum of 0°± 0.25° from the symmetry line of the wheels.
Note! The differences in the diagram are heavily exaggerated in order to illustrate the differences.
Check:
-
the symmetry line of the wheels
-
the thrust line
-
the thrust angle
-
Toe angle.
For the correct values for each model, see Wheel cambers See: Specifications/Alignment Specifications
Adjusting rear toe angle
Slacken off the inner nut on the lower control arm.
Use the eccentric screw to adjust toe angle to the correct value. See Wheel cambers See: Specifications/Alignment Specifications.
Tighten the nuts slightly.
Check the thrust angle. If it does not comply with the specified value, undo the nuts and readjust the toe angle.
Tighten the nut. Tighten to 100 Nm.
