Wheel alignment
1. Check the wheel alignment angles on the vehicle on a level surface. The front wheels should be in a straight-ahead position. Wheel alignment: 0°00'±09'.
2. If the wheel toe-in is not as required, adjust its value by rotating the left and right threaded bushings of the steering rods (in opposite directions) (Figure 12.2). Rotating the left threaded bushing in the direction of vehicle travel and the right threaded bushing in the opposite direction (backward) increases the toe-in. With each turn of the left and right bushing, the toe-in shifts approximately by Г 05' (per wheel).
Figure 12.2. Checking and adjusting wheel alignment
Wheel camber, kingpin caster and kingpin lateral caster
Wheel alignment: 0°00'±30' (left/right deviation within 30').
Longitudinal inclination of kingpin: 2°51'±30' (left/right deviation within 30').
Kingpin traverse angle: 12°52'.
3. Wheel alignment and kingpin caster are adjusted directly by the manufacturer and cannot be changed or adjusted.
4. If the camber and longitudinal inclination of the kingpin do not correspond to the required parameters, replace the damaged and deformed parts.
