General Procedures

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Jaguar XE and 2017 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
57.65.01 FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT - CHECK AND ADJUST ALL DERIVATIVES 0.7
57.65.11 FOUR WHEEL GEOMETRY AND ALIGNMENT - CHECK AND ADJUST ALL DERIVATIVES 0.9
NOTE:
  • Only use calibrated equipment recommended by Jaguar.
  • A change in camber means a change in toe, therefore camber must always be adjusted first (only where adjustable).
  • Some variation in the illustrations may occur, but the essential information is always correct.
  • Some components shown removed for clarity.
  1. Set the vehicle to tight tolerance mode before taking any geometry readings or making any geometry adjustments.
    NOTE: Vehicles with air suspension only.
  2. Note the correct geometry values before carrying out this procedure.
  3. Check the tie rod ends, suspension joints, wheel bearings and wheels and tires for damage, wear and free play.
  4. Roll the vehicle backwards and forwards to settle the steering and suspension.
  5. Align the steering wheel to straight ahead.
    NOTE: Carry out Steps 6 to 9 only if the rear subframe has been removed.
  6. Loosen, but do not fully remove the bolts.
    G11305427
  7. Adjust the wheel base. Note the readings from the steering geometry test equipment and adjust the geometry as required.
    G11305428
  8. Adjust the axle set-back. Note the readings from the steering geometry test equipment and adjust the geometry as required.
    G11305429
  9. Adjust the axle lateral off-set. Note the readings from the steering geometry test equipment and adjust the geometry as required.
    G11305430
  10. G11305427

    Tighten the 4 subframe to body bolts to the specified torque.

    Torque specification: 170 Nm 

  11. Adjust the rear wheel toe alignment. Note the readings from the steering geometry test equipment and adjust the geometry as required.
    NOTE: Both toe links must be adjusted by an equal amount.
    G11305432

    Torque Specification: 

    Stage 1: 60 Nm

    Stage 2: 90°

  12. Adjust the front wheel toe alignment. Note the readings from the steering geometry test equipment and adjust the geometry as required.
    CAUTION:
    • To prevent damage to the tie rods, use an additional wrench when loosening or tightening the components.
    • Do not allow the gaiter to twist.
    NOTE:
    • Both tie rods must be rotated by an equal amount.
    • Repeat the procedure for the other side.
    G11305433

    Torque specification: 100 Nm 

  13. Check, and if necessary, repeat the wheel alignment procedure until the correct values are obtained.
  14. Using the Jaguar approved diagnostic system, calibrate the steering angle sensor.
