Front Alignment
NOTE:
Make sure that the front camber is set within the correct tolerance before checking or adjusting the front toe alignment.
-
NOTE:
- To adjust the front camber the upper wishbone arms must be replaced.
- Changing the upper wishbone arm will generate a ±0.5° change in front camber depending on the component installed.
If necessary adjust the front wheel camber. Note the readings from the steering geometry test equipment and adjust the geometry as required.
For additional information, refer to: UPPER ARM LHUPPER ARM RH
- Roll the vehicle backwards and forwards to settle the steering and suspension.
- Set the vehicle into tight tolerance mode.
For additional information, refer to: AIR SUSPENSION MANUAL TIGHT TOLERANCE SETTING MODE
-
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the tie rods, use an additional wrench when loosening or tightening the components.
Loosen the tie-rod end lock nut.
-
CAUTION: Do not allow the gaiter to twist.NOTE: Both tie rods must be rotated by an equal amount.
Adjust the front toe alignment. Note the readings from the steering geometry test equipment and adjust the geometry as required.
Align the steering to straight ahead.
Adjust the steering gear tie rod, rotate using the hexagon on the tie rod.
Check, and if necessary, repeat the wheel alignment procedure until the correct values are obtained.
Tighten the tie rod end lock nut to 77 Nm.
Repeat the procedure for the other side.
