Left and Right-Hand Wheel Lock, Checking

Left and right-hand wheel lock, checking
Check is only necessary, if:
^ Wheel locks differ by more than 2° from one another from the steering center point
^ One side there is contact between tire and a front axle component or body at full lock
^ Left and right turning circles differ.





The distance between front axle components and tires -arrow- must be the same at full lock.
If the distances are unequal, this can be corrected by turning the left and right-hand tie rods.

Example:
Right-hand wheel lock distance less than lefthand;
- Loosen tie rod lock nuts.
- Turn left-hand tie rod counter-clockwise (out of toe).
- Make sure equal dimensions turn right-hand tie rod in opposite direction (screw into tie rod).
- Check complete toe.
- Total toe is still set to prescribed specifications after completing adjustments!
- Tighten lock nuts.
- After tightening lock nut -1- it is possible that the value will change slightly.
- If the set value does not deviate by more than 2 ~ from specification, the setting is OK.
- After turning tie rods, make sure that the boots are not twisted!
