Vehicles after change point in 1982 ADJUSTING TOE AND TOE DIFFERENCE ANGLE Measuring Height Level: Measure on all wheels, from wheel house lower edge (1) to rim flange (2) at height of wheel center. A = Nominal value**. ** See Specifications of Gr 31/33 | |
Set steering gear to straight ahead position (marks on case and spindle). | |
Loosen both tie rod bolts. Installation: Tightening torque* for car loaded down to normal position*. * See Specifications | |
Adjust toe on left and right wheels to nominal value* by turning threaded sleeves. Installation: Make sure ball joints are not turned. * See Specifications | |
Correcting Camber: The front axle camber can be corrected by ± 30´with the installation of eccentric mounts, if camber correction is necessary due to summation of unfavourable tolerances. Important Changes in axle geometry (axle - body) caused in an accident may not be eliminated with this measure. Example: Camber nominal value:.... + 10´ ... - 50´ Camber actual value........ - 1°10´ + correction .....................+ 30´ New actual value: ............- 40´ | |
Eccentric mounts are market at bores with "+" and "-". Press knurled head bolts into "+" or "-" bores as required (see example) with Special Tool 31 3 130. | |
Important! Knurled head bolts must be perpendicular in mounts and flush. Replace front spring strut mounts 31 33 001. 31 33 001 |
