Front Measurement
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2000 Volvo V70, 2000 Volvo S70, 2000 Volvo C70, 1999 Volvo V70, and 1999 Volvo S70. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Lift up front end of vehicle under the control arms as close to the ball joints as possible. See Fig 1 . Check for play or looseness in the steering gear or tie rods, the wheel bearings, the upper spring strut mountings and control arm ball joints and bushings. If there is play in any of the above components, it must be corrected before an alignment can be performed.
- Set up and calibrate test equipment according to manufacturer's instructions. Position the turntables under the front wheels. Use turntables which take up lateral movement. The car must stand level when the front wheels are on the turntables. Bounce the front suspension heavily a few times when the car has sunk onto the turntables.
- Check the camber angle on both sides. Check measurement against specification. See WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS . The camber angle may vary by a maximum of 0.2°+/-.7° between the left and the right wheels. Adjust camber angle as needed. See CAMBER ADJUSTMENT .
