With free wheel alignment the selection and sequence of the measuring points is freely selectable. The following points must be observed for attaining the correct measurement results:
- Carry out all work in the same way as with the program-guided measurement.
- Before measuring the wheel toe and camber values for the rear axle, the steering must be in the "straight ahead" position to ensure that it is perfectly aligned in relation to the longitudinal center plane of the vehicle.
- Before measuring the single wheel toe values on the front axle, the center of steering must be established to ensure the correct position of the steering wheel.
