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.

The tyres are pushed apart in the front by rolling friction when driv-

ing. Therefore, 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.

Always twist both track rod levers equally (left and right

front wheel); otherwise, you will misadjust the trim at the

transmitter.

The axle leg has several attachment points (B) for the

steering knuckle arm, which are used for changing the de-

ectionangleofthefrontwheel(Ackermannangle).

The manufacturer already selected the best setting for the

vehicle. Therefore, you should not change the attachment

point (B).

Setting rear axle alignment:

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