Four Wheel Alignment
A change in camber means a change in toe, therefore camber must always be adjusted first (only where adjustable).
- Note the correct geometry values before carrying out this procedure.
Refer to: SPECIFICATIONS
- Check the tie rod ends, suspension joints, wheel bearings and wheels and tires for damage, wear and free play. Check and adjust the tire pressures.
- Roll the vehicle backwards and forwards to settle the steering and suspension.
- Align the steering to straight ahead.NOTE: Carry out Steps 5 to 9 only if the rear subframe has been removed.
Loosen, but do not fully remove the bolts.
Adjust the wheel base. Note the readings from the steering geometry test equipment and adjust the geometry as required.
Adjust the axle set-back. Note the readings from the steering geometry test equipment and adjust the geometry as required.
Adjust the axle lateral off-set. Note the readings from the steering geometry test equipment and adjust the geometry as required.
Install new bolts.
Torque Specifications:
Stage 1: 110 Nm
Stage 2: 120°
-
NOTE: Both toe links must be adjusted by an equal amount.
Adjust the rear wheel toe alignment. Note the readings from the steering geometry test equipment and adjust the geometry as required.
Torque Specifications:
Stage 1: 40 Nm
Stage 2: 60°
-
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.Adjust the front wheel toe alignment. Note the readings from the steering geometry test equipment and adjust the geometry as required.
Torque Specification: 100 Nm
- Check, and if necessary, repeat the wheel alignment procedure until the correct values are obtained.
- Using the Land Rover approved diagnostic system, calibrate the steering angle sensor.
