INSPECTING AND ADJUSTING VEHICLE LEVEL AT FRONT AND REAR AXLES 1. Observe the general information on chassis alignment inspection. (Refer to 2 - SUSPENSION/WHEEL ALIGN- MENT - STANDARD PROCEDURE). 2. Inspect the vehicle level at the front axle by performing the following: • Insert measuring device between the retaining bolts of the lower control arm bearing. • Position the contact arm of measuring device on the control arm and read off the plumb value of vehicle level, 3. Inspect the vehicle level at the rear axle by performing the following: • Loosen right rear frame brace and swivel to one side. • Position contact arm on the rear axle shaft and read off the plumb value of the vehicle level, viewed from the Note: If the vehicle level at the front or rear axle is outside the tolerance, adjust the vehicle level by chang- 4. Adjust the vehicle level at the front and rear axles. INSPECTING AND ADJUSTING VEHICLE LEVEL AT FRONT AND REAR AXLES 1. Observe the general information on chassis alignment inspection. (Refer to 2 - SUSPENSION/WHEEL ALIGN- MENT - STANDARD PROCEDURE). CAUTION: The measuring plate is magnetic. Information on data media, e.g. floppy disks, credit cards, etc., Note: Be sure to clean measurement points on the lower wishbone. Note: Remove any metal shavings on the measuring plate. 2. Install the measuring plate in the recessed area in the lower control arm. The groove in the measuring plate should be at an angle of 90° towards the direction of travel. 3. Inspect the vehicle level at the front axle via control arm inclination. (Refer to 2 - SUSPENSION/WHEEL ALIGN- MENT - STANDARD PROCEDURE). 4. Inspect the vehicle level at the rear axle via the rear axle shaft inclination. (Refer to 2 - SUSPENSION/WHEEL ALIGNMENT - STANDARD PROCEDURE). 5. Adjust the vehicle level at the front and rear axles. If the vehicle level is outside the allowed tolerance at the front or rear axle, perform the following: • Adjust the vehicle level by changing the springs or the spring rubber mounts. (Refer to 2 - SUSPENSION/ CHECKING AND ADJUSTING FRONT AXLE CAMBER AND CASTER CHECKING 1. Observe the general information on chassis alignment check. (Refer to 2 - SUSPENSION/WHEEL ALIGNMENT - STANDARD PROCEDURE). 2. Check the vehicle level at the front and rear axles. (Refer to 2 - SUSPENSION/WHEEL ALIGNMENT - STAN- DARD PROCEDURE). 3. Check the vehicle level at the front and rear axles with an electronic inclinometer and adjust if necessary. (Refer to 2 - SUSPENSION/WHEEL ALIGNMENT - STANDARD PROCEDURE). 4. Check the camber and assign to tabular value. (Refer to 2 - SUSPENSION/WHEEL ALIGNMENT - SPECIFICA- TIONS). Note: Measure with the wheels turned to 20°. ZH WHEEL ALIGNMENT 2 - 7 |
