 Note
| Wheel alignment should not be checked before the vehicle has
completed 1,000 to 2,000 km because the coil springs must
settle. |
| When making adjustments, adhere to the relevant
specifications as closely as possible. |
| Whenever adjustments are made to the running gear, always
check whether any driver assist systems must be recalibrated
following the adjustments. |
| Crabbing and accident damaged vehicles |
| This may be due to the rack in the steering rack not being
exactly centred when vehicle is driven in a straight line. |
| Power steering assistance is thereby slightly one sided,
rather than central. The vehicle will pull to one side as a
consequence. |
| When checking the alignment of a “vehicle which pulls to one
side”, always ensure that the steering rack is centred. |
