Wheel Alignment, Measuring

^ Ensure that the sliding plates and turn tables are not touching the end stop when checking the wheel alignment.
^ Vehicle accurately positioned on alignment rack, suspension bounced and rocked several times
^ The test equipment must be properly adjusted and attached to the vehicle (see equipment manufacturer's instructions).

^ Carry out wheel run-out compensation.

Note: Compensating wheel run-out: The permissible lateral runout of the wheel rims may already exceed the specified toe setting tolerance. In this case, a correct toe adjustment is not possible without compensating for wheel run-out.





^ Insert brake pedal depressor.
