• Correctly adjust tire pressure.
• Check chassis components for damage and repair, if necessary.
• On vehicles with rear axle slip angle control: 

  Run the service function "HSR actuator to center position".

• Drive the vehicle onto the axle alignment test stand so the front wheels and rear wheels are positioned in the center of the turntables and sliding plates.

• Position sensor/ride height markers on the vehicle.
• In the Kinematics Diagnosis System, enter the customer and vehicle data.
• Identify the equipment specifications of the vehicle and select the vehicle.

If the spring strut does not feature a label to identify the suspension, the type of chassis can be identified by the part number in the applicable BMW parts catalogue.

• Enter tire pressure and tread depth.
• Remove locking pins from both rotating and sliding plates.
• Install the brake pedal tensioner.
