b) Setting the Camber

The camber is the inclination of the wheel level as viewed from the front (vertical).

Negative inclination Positive inclination

(Top wheel edge points inwards) (Top wheel edge points outwards)

shown!

bends, the steering reacts more directly and steering forces are reduced. At the same time, the wheel is pushed onto

the axle spur in the direction of the axle. This reduces axial bearing clearance, the driving behaviour is calmer.

Setting Front Axle Camber:

For setting the camber, turn the threaded rod (A) of

the upper transverse link.

For this, turn out screw (B) from the front. Then the

cross-linkage can be adjusted.

There are several different suspension points for the

upper transverse link at the damper bridge; see circle

(C)inthegureontheright.

If the transverse link was attached in a different loca-

tion, this would change the camber when the wheel

deectsandextends.

The manufacturer has already selected the best set-

ting for the vehicle. Therefore, no changes should be

made by you.
