REAR AXLE ALIGNMENT
Inspection and adjustment
2-10
Adjusting the axle position, leaf-sprung axle
suspension
The leaf-sprung axle suspension can only be
corrected to a limited extent.
The only correction option available is to use the
tolerances at the attachment of the spring
bracket to the chassis.
1.
To this end, loosen the spring bracket bolts
and slide the bracket as far as possible in
the correction direction.
2.
If this is insufficient, the spring bracket on
the other side of the chassis can be moved
in the opposite direction.
3.
Make sure that the contact surfaces
between spring bracket and chassis are
absolutely free from paint, grease and dirt.
Tighten the spring-bracket attachment bolts
to the specified torque. See “Technical
data”.
