  Checking     
NOTES On vehicles with level control  a vehicle level too low should not be corrected by changing the level control connection rod (control point).
  1. Check function of level control.
  2. If OK, adjust the vehicle level by changing the spring or spring rubber mount.
 
1 Observe general information on chassis alignment. IMPORTANT Following repair work forcefully move vehicle up and down several times before measuring. AR40.20-P-0201A 
2 Install measuring plate (086b) in the recess in the lower wishbone. IMPORTANT The groove in the measuring plate (086b) should be at an angle of 90° to the direction of travel.
  • Clean measuring point at bottom wishbone.
  • Remove metal chips from measuring plate.
  • Measuring plate is magnetic, information on data carriers, e.g. floppy discs, credit cards, etc. can be rendered unusable.
*WE58.40-Z-1002-15A 
3 Check vehicle level at the front axle  via the wishbone inclination. Attach measurement sensor (086a) (connecting cable pointing to center of vehicle) and store each measured value.
  • Left front measuring point 1
  • Right front measuring point 2
*WE58.40-Z-1002-15A 
      *BE40.20-P-1002-02D 
4 Check vehicle level at the rear axle  via the rear axle shaft inclination. Attach measurement sensor (086a) to left and right rear axle shaft (connecting cable pointing to center of vehicle) and store each measured value.
  • Clean measuring points on rear axle shaft
  • Left rear measuring point 3
  • Right rear measuring point 4
*WE58.40-Z-1002-15A 
      *BE40.20-P-1002-03D 
IMPORTANT   Vehicle level outside of tolerance on front and rear axle ↓.  
    Adjust vehicle level by changing the springs or spring rubber mounts. AR40.20-P-0300-01B
