Unit of measurement in diagram: [min]

A Toe
B Camber
C1 Toe / camber value adjustment by wishbone
D1 Toe / camber value adjustment by swinging arm
3 Specified setpoint value from wheel/axle analyser system

Description of adjustment using the diagram (ride-height-dependent measurement/unladen): 

  1. Read off nominal value (3) at wheel/axle analyzer and enter in diagram (in example: toe +12'/camber -78')
  2. Move lines (D) and (C) in parallel so that the point of intersection of the two lines (D1 and C1) is the entered nominal value
  3. Read off actual value (1) for toe/camber on wheel/axle alignment analyzer and enter in diagram
  4. Further procedure as when adjusting in design position:
    • Drag parallel line to "Wishbone" line (C 1) through entered actual value
    • Point of intersection on "Swinging arm" line (D1) produces toe/camber intermediate adjustment value
    • Adjust intermediate adjustment value by turning adjusting screw on wishbone
    • Adjust nominal value (1) for toe/camber by turning adjusting screw on swinging arm (toe/camber value moves on line D1)
