Adjusting toe-in on front axle
NOTE:
Before each toe adjustment, the electromechanical steering gear (EPS) must be started up (initialization)!
CAUTION:
Changes in axle geometry caused by accidents must under no circumstances be rectified by camber adjustment!
NOTE:
Camber and toe-in influence each other. Adjust the toe-in first in order to simplify the adjustment procedure.
The camber adjustment is performed only with the replacement of the swivel bearing. There are various swivel bearings (+/-30') for this purpose.
