The camber and toe-in angles are interrelated, so the adjustment of the front wheel alignment angles must begin with the setting of the toe-in angle.
Adjustment of an angle of a convergence of wheels
Adjustment of the positive convergence of the wheels must be carried out in the following order. Remove the side casing of the steering gear, set the wheels and the steering gear to the position for driving in a straight line, while markings on the cap (1, fig. 12.8) and on the hull (2) must match. Fix the steering wheel.
Clean the threads on the tie rod and loosen its lock nut (1, fig. 12.9), while holding the tie rod end.
Turning the tie rod on the hex (2), set positive wheel toe – 0°18'±10′. Make sure the case (3) did not twist on pull. Tighten locknut (1) torque 51 Nm (5.1 kgf·m) and, if necessary, restore the position of the cover.
Camber adjustment
Warning! It is categorically forbidden to eliminate changes in the geometry of the axle caused by an accident by adjusting the camber angle.
Camber adjustment must be carried out in the following order. Prepare fixture «32.3.140», if there is a windshield washer reservoir on the right side, unscrew it, remove it from its place and take it aside. Use compressed air to remove dirt in the area of the upper suspension strut support. Raise the car, the wheels are hung out.
Remove the cap from the wheel housing and remove the centering pin (1, fig. 12.10) using a key, the finger cannot be reused. If the finger is plastic, it will break off. loosen the nut (2) one and a half turns.
Through the hole in the wheel arch to the nut (2) suspension strut mounts install tool «32.3.140» (pic. 12.11).
Replace nuts (3) and screw them until they touch the contact surface, without tightening them. Lower the car onto wheels. Rotating Nut (4, arrow), set the camber angle to -12′±20′. The maximum camber change is±18°. Tighten nuts (3) torque 34 Nm (3.4 kgf·m), with a stem diameter of 21 mm, and remove the tool.
Tighten the nut (2, see fig.12.10) torque 34 Nm (3.4 kgf·m), with a stem diameter of 21 mm, and install the cap on the wheel arch.
