7.3 Initial / final measurement

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 MINI Cooper and 2008 MINI Cooper. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

This measurement can be carried out as a program-guided measurement in the same way as any subsequent adjusting work and the final measurement. The sequence of the chassis measuring points to be called up is specified and controlled by the system software. The individual steps comprise:

Driving straight ahead to correctly record the wheel toe and camber values for the rear axle
Steering routine for recording the castor, kingpin inclination and toe-differential angle
Recording the wheel toe and camber of the front axle (adjust the steering center point in advance)
Steering routine for measuring the maximum steering angle on the left/right
Checking the overview of measured values with the setpoint and actual comparison of all measured values
