Note: Allow at least one balance weight 

  per side of per wheel and maximum mass is 

Outer side

  less than and equals to 70g. In the process   

Blance weight

of equipping, avoid hitting balance weight 

too heavily. If so, replace balance weight in 

Balance 
weight

  time. Balance weight replaced mustn’t be 

 used again. 

11、Installation 

(1) When installing wheel and tyre assembly, screw wheel bolts into wheel rim with hands to   

be preloading. After preloading, screw it on with special tools in the diagonal to screw the moment of a force 

(110±10N.m). It’s forbidden to use impact wrench to avoid damaging wheels, loosening and tightening. It’s forbidden 

to apply lubricating grease on wheel bolts. (It’s needed for wheel and tyre assembly equipped to screw wheel bolts on 

once and tighten the moment of a force after the first running of 100km. It’s one of the content of routine maintenance 

to check wheel bolts and tighten the moment of a force.)

 

 

(2)Tighten nuts by crossing .The degrees of screwing 
  should be close to each other and make sure that 
  wheels can turn freely. After tightening, wheels 
  lie on the ground.   

 

（

3）Install

 trimming cover

 or place trimming cover   

according to requirements. When installing 

ferrule-type  

trimming cover

, flap it with hands or knock it in with rubber tools.

III. Check loosening degree of wheel bearing   

1、Check bearing axial clearance   

 Maximum: 0.05mm 

2、Check deflection of axle rim 

Maximum: 0.05mm 

 

 
 

IV. 

Check loosening degree of front suspension 

V. 

Check loosening degree of steering horizontal linkage 

VI. 

Check loosening degree of

 knuckle joint

 end 

VII. 

Check if shock absorber can operate properly.   

1、Check if there’s oil leakage. 

2、Check if there’s abrasion of assembly liner. 

3、Check damping force of shock absorber. If it’s disqualification, it’s needed to be replaced. 

 

 

Section 2 Rear Wheel Alignment 

   

It’s commended for the chassis of this vehicle type to use four-wheel position indicator by propulsive line positioning 
methods. Single wheel toe-in of front wheel shall be influenced, if propulsive line positioning adjust rear wheel toe-in .So 
if carrying out four-wheel alignment test, adjust rear wheel first, then adjust front wheel. And adjust camber of rear wheel 
first, then toe-in angle. After that, adjust caster, camber and toe-in angle of front wheel. 

 I. 

Install position indicator or retainer in 

 wheels. 

1、Install it according specific   

instruction of equipment manufacturer. 

2、Test and adjust vehicles according to equipment requirement, see the following alignment requirements:

Note: Camber of rear wheels isn’t adjustable. If finding

and 

deformation in rear suspension.

II. 

Adjust rear wheel toe-in 

If rear wheel toe-in can’t conform to requirements, adjust it. 

  It’s allowable to adjust 

offset bolt 

16 of rear 

  suspension swinging arm assembly and change toe-in   

size (The detailed adjustment procedures are as follows). 

1、 Loosen Nut 18, pay attention not to making nuts drop from the groove. 

2、Rotate offset bolt 16 to change rear wheel toe-in value till 

  conforming to requirements.

3、  Screw Nut18 on to assigned moment of a force 

4、  After screwing nuts on, bounce vehicle body to   

check toe-in size.

 

 

 

 
 

Section 3 Front Wheel Alignment 

 

I. 

Install position indicator or retainer in wheels. 

Install it according to specific instruction of equipment   

manufacturer. 

II. 

Test and adjust negative caster, camber,   

toe-in angle of front wheels and steering angle 

Specification: follow the requirements of vehicle front wheel alignment:

Note: First adjust caster, next camber, then toe-in angle. 

1、

Negative Caster 

Negative caster is assured in design structure. There’s no need to adjust it. 

 

Influence of Caster 

Main function of caster is to make vehicles run in the direction of straight front. 

If caster is in the right position, the inner of vehicles shall go down when turning front wheels. Its result is to hoist 

the chassis and add load to steering knuckle. If two front wheels have the same caster, vehicles will turn back to the 

direction of straight front after turning. To add positive caster angle can increase stability of steering wheel, but it’ll 

increase turning force when turning. To reduce positive caster angle can decrease stability of steering wheel, but it’ll 

decrease turning force when turning. The angle of caster won’t influence abrasion of tyres. It’s used to stabilize vehicle 

running direction and make steering wheel turn back by itself when turning. If vehicle equipments are tradition 

mechanical turning, the angle of caster is small, without so much as tending to minus caster angle, and it’s easy to turn. 

If vehicles are equipped with power-steering, caster is regulated to bigger positive caster and it can make drivers have 

more feelings of driving .To add positive caster angle can increase turning force, but it’ll increase stability when running 

in the straight direction. 

2、

Camber

 

 

After installing independent suspension   

and steering knuckle, there’s no need to adjust 

camber normally. If finding camber deviate   

tolerance for other reasons, use binding bolts of independent   

Bolts 
adjustment

suspension and steering knuckle to calibrate.
