Examination
1. Center the steering wheel spokes.
Note: Measure the difference in toe measurements in position «straight ahead» running wheels.
2. Check up a convergence in front. Convergence in front: 0±3 mm.
- If adjustment is required, go to step 3.
- If adjustment is not required, remove the equipment.
Adjustment
3. Loosen the tie rod lock nuts and rotate both tie rods in the same direction until the front wheels are in position «straight ahead».
4. Rotate both tie rods equally until the desired toe reading is obtained on the steering angle test stand.
5. After adjustment, tighten the steering rod locknuts.
Note: Reinstall the tie rod boot if it is twisted or misaligned.
Rear convergence
1. Release the parking brake to avoid incorrect measurement.
2. Check the toe. Convergence behind: 2±5 mm.
3. If the toe-in is not as specified, check for bent or damaged suspension components.
Checking the angle of rotation
1. Raise the front of the car with a jack. Position stands for measuring the angle of rotation under the front wheels, then lower the car.
2. Raise the rear of the vehicle with a jack. Place boards of the same thickness as the stands under the rear wheels, then lower the car.
Note: The vehicle must be level for accurate readings.
3. Turn the wheel to the right and left while applying the brake and measure the angle of rotation of both wheels. Angle of rotation:
- Inner wheel: 38°00'±2°
- Outer wheel: 30°00' (reference data)
4. If measurements differ from specified, carry out adjustment by rotation of steering draughts.
Note: After adjustment, recheck the front wheel toe-in and adjust again if necessary. Reinstall the tie rod boot if it is twisted or misaligned.
Bearing end play
1. Raise the four-wheel vehicle off the ground and secure it to the safety stands at the correct points.
2. Remove the wheels, then re-tighten the wheel nuts.
3. Attach the indicator as shown in the figure on the next page, top left.
4. Measure the end play of the bearing by moving the disc in or out. Front/Rear: 0-0.05mm.
5. If the measurement of bearing end play exceeds the standard value, replace the wheel bearing.
