Check and adjustment of corners of installation of forward wheels
Verification is carried out only at the curb the car mounted on a level surface. Before checking, do the following: - Check and top up the tire pressure; - Make sure that on each axle mounted tires of the same size, with the same tread wear; - Check the hinges front suspension and front wheel hub bearings and eliminate backlash, replacing worn parts; - Shake the suspension of the car, putting several times the effort from top to bottom in the middle of the rear first and then the front bumper. When the wheels have to be arranged in straight. With the help of an optical instrument to measure the real value of the axle and compare them with those in Table. 5.1.
