Check and adjust wheel alignment



Preliminary checks

PERFORMANCE ORDER
1. Check the tire pressure and, if necessary, bring to the required level.
2. Check the bearing play of the front wheels and, if necessary, replace them.
3. Check the runout of tires and wheels.
4. Check the backlash ball joint front suspension and steering gear.
5. The vehicle must be on a flat surface without passengers and cargo in the trunk.
6. Shake the body of the car to check the effect of the shock absorbers.
7. The difference in height between the left and right side of the vehicle from the wheel center to the edge of the wing must not exceed 10 mm.
8. Check that the fuel tank is full, levels of coolant and engine oil in health and spare tire and tools are in place.

Check of the maximum steering angle of front wheels

PERFORMANCE ORDER
1. Install both front wheels into the template turning radius.
2. Turn the front wheel to the left until it stops and measure the angle of rotation of the left (inner) and right (the outside) of the wheels.
3. Loosen the lock nut left and right tips of steering drafts, then rotate the rod, set the desired angle. Tighten the lock nut.
4. Repeat the operation after turning the front wheels to the right.
5. Tighten locknut tips of steering drafts.

Torque: 34-50 N ??? m
6. Check and, if necessary, adjust the convergence, after checking and adjusting the maximum angle of rotation of the front wheels.

The collapse of the angle Caster front wheels

PERFORMANCE ORDER
1. At a special stand and check the camber angle Caster.
2. If the angle is not correct, lift the front of the car and fix on supports.
3. Remove the four screws fastening the upper strut front suspension.

4. Press down the upper strut front suspension to release the sleeves and turn the sleeve to a position that corresponds to the difference between the measured angle and the desired value.
5. Tighten the upper mounting of the front axle torque.

Torque: 23-29 N ??? m
6. Lower the car and check the angles of camber and caster. If necessary, adjust the angles.

The convergence of the front wheels

PERFORMANCE ORDER
1. At a special stand check the toe of the front wheels.
2. If the convergence does not correspond to the desired value, loosen the lock nut left and right tips of steering drafts, then rotate the rod, set the desired angle. Tighten the lock nut.

A warning

The left and right tips of steering drafts have the right thread. To reduce the convergence necessary to rotate the right and left tie rods, wrenching them from the tips of steering drafts and vice versa.

One full turn of both connecting rods changes the positive convergence approximately 6 mm.

Perhaps one will have to rotate the tie rod more than the other to achieve the desired angle of the toe, while maintaining the positioning of the steering wheel.


3. Tighten the locknut tips of steering drafts.

Torque: 34-50 N ??? m

Adjustment of a convergence of back wheels


A warning

The collapse of the rear wheel is not adjustable.


PERFORMANCE ORDER
1. Check that the fuel tank is full, levels of coolant and engine oil in health and spare tire and tools are in place. The vehicle must be on a flat horizontal surface.
2. At a special stand check the toe of the rear wheels.
3. If the convergence does not correspond to the desired value, loosen the lock nut on the rear of the transverse rod.
4. Turn the knob on the thrust, adjust the convergence of the corresponding rear wheel.

A warning

One turn of the knob changes the convergence of 3 mm.


5. Repeat for the second adjustment of the rear wheel.
6. Tighten the lock nut torque.

Torque: 116-157 N ??? m
