Adjusting the wheel camber on the rear axle:
The adjustment of the camber is performed by rotating the
screw (A) of the upper transversal arm.
Since this screw has a left and right thread, you do not
needtoexpandthesuspensionarmforadjustingthecam-
ber.
Inaddition,ontherearsideoftheaxlejournal(B)several
different mounting points for the upper transversal arm
can be found.
If the transversal arm is mounted on a different point, the
wheel camber changes during compression and rebound
of the wheel.
The manufacturer has already chosen an optimal adjust-
ment for the vehicle, so you should not change the moun-
ting point (B).
b) Adjusting the track
The track (toe-in = image „A“, toe-out = image „B“) refers to the posi-
tion of the wheel plane to the driving direction.
During the trip, the wheels are pressed apart by the front rolling resis-
tanceandthereforetheyarenolongerexactlyparalleltothedriving
direction.
In order to compensate, the wheels of the stationary vehicle can be
adjusted so that in front they face slightly inward. The effect of this
toe-in results in a simultaneous better lateral guiding of the tire, and
thus, a more direct steering response.
If a softer steering response is desired, this can be achieved accor-
dingly by adjusting the toe-out, e.g. the wheels of the stationary ve-
hicle face outward.
A track angle of more than 3° toe-in (A) or toe-out (B) leads to problems in handling and during lower
speed;inaddition,thetirewearincreases.
