b) Setting the Alignment

Wheelalignment(toe-in=gure„A“,toe-out=gure„B“)describes

the relation of the wheel level to the driving direction.

While driving, the tyres are pushed apart in the front because of the

rolling friction. This is why they are no longer precisely parallel to the

driving direction.

To compensate, the tyres of the stationary vehicle can be adjusted so

that they point slightly inwards. This toe-in improves lateral cornering

of the tyres and leads to a more direct response to steering.

If a milder response to steering is desired, this can be achieved

accordingly by adjusting a toe-out, i.e. the wheels of the stationary

vehicle point outward.

An alignment angle of more than 3° toe-in (A) or toe-out (B) will lead to handling problems and decreased

speed. It will also increase tyre wear.

Setting front axle alignment:

For the front axle, alignment can be set by turning the track

rod lever (A). Because it has a left and right hand thread

each, it does not need to be dismantled to be adjusted.

Turn both track rod levers evenly (left and right front

wheel). Otherwise, you need to adjust the trim of the

transmitter (or even change the steering servo control by

adjusting the servo rod).

At the linkage angle (B) and in the axle stub (C) there are

several attachment points for the steering knuckle arm,

which are used for changing the turning angle of the front

wheel (Ackermann angle).

The manufacturer already selected the best setting. The-

refore, you should not change these attachment points (B)

and (C).

Setting rear axle alignment:

The track of the rear axle in this vehicle is set and cannot be changed.
