SETTING THE REFERENCE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT : FRONT SUSPENSION - REAR SUSPENSION

The front tracking can be checked and adjusted at kerb weight (symmetrical wear of the tyres) .

To check all the angles (castor, camber, tracking), it is necessary to place the vehicle at reference height .

1 - SPECIAL TOOLS

Suspension height setting equipment (-).0916 .

[1] set of two suspension compressors (-).0916-A .

[2] set of four shackles (-).0916-C .

[3] set of four setting rods (-).0916-D .

[4] set of four straps (-)0916-B .

Front and rear suspension geometry checks and front suspension geometry adjustment must be performed with the suspension accurately compressed to the reference height, in a suspension checking bay .

Check :

• the tyres and their pressures are correct

2 - RACK MID-POINT

Turn the steering wheel to maximum lock on one side .

Make a mark (1) on the fascia and a mark (2) on the steering wheel opposite the first mark .

Turn the steering wheel to maximum lock on the other side counting the number of turns of the wheel .

Make a second mark (3) on the wheel opposite the mark on the fascia .

Halve the distance between the 2 steering wheel marks and make a 3rd mark (4) .

Return the steering wheel halving the number of turns .

Line up the 3rd mark (4) with the fascia mark (1) .

If required, realign the steering wheel with the fascia, by removing and refitting the wheel .

Correct any out-of-true of the wheels .

3 - SETTING THE REFERENCE HEIGHT

3 - 1 - AT THE FRONT

Engage the tie straps [4] fitted with their shackles [2] in the lashing rings .

Fit the suspension compressor [1] .

Compress the suspension to obtain a body height H1 (reference height) both sides, measured between the flange (5) and the ground .

WARNING : take the height of the turntables into account when measuring the reference height H1 .

3 - 2 - AT THE REAR

Position the two straps [4] fitted with their shackles [2] over the rear cross member .

Fit the suspension compressor [1] .

Select the most suitable notches (A) to pull on the straps as nearly vertically as possible .

Compress the suspension to obtain a body height H2 (reference height) both sides, measured between the flange (6) and the ground .

WARNING : take the height of the turntables into account when measuring the reference height H2 .

Check that the height H1 measured at the front has not changed .

4 - CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS : FRONT SUSPENSION

4 - 1 - FRONT SUSPENSION ANGLES

Vehicle at kerb weight .

The value of the tracking varies in relation to the height of the vehicle .

Measure the distance between the ground and the jacking point and mark that value on one of the graphs below to determine the value of the tracking at the axle .

Vehicles affected : .

(P) : Tracking at the axle (Tolerance ± 1 mm) .

(H) : Height between the ground and the jacking point (In mm) .

Example :

• H = 170 mm
• P = toe-out at the axle -1 mm

Vehicles affected : .

(P) : Tracking at the axle (Tolerance ±1 mm) .

(H) : Height between the ground and the jacking point (In mm) .

Vehicles affected : .

(P) : Tracking at the axle (Tolerance ±1 mm) .

(H) : Height between the ground and the jacking point (In mm) .

Vehicles affected : .

(P) : Tracking at the axle (Tolerance ±1 mm) .

(H) : Height between the ground and the jacking point (In mm) .

4 - 2 - TRACK ADJUSTMENT

Only the track is adjustable (At the front) .

If the value is incorrect, adjust the track rods (7) (one turn of the rod = 2 mm approximately) .

Tighten the nuts (8) to 4.5 da.Nm .

5 - CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS : REAR SUSPENSION

5 - 1 - REAR SUSPENSION GEOMETRY

The angles of the rear suspension cannot be adjusted, the check is carried out at reference height .

5 - 2 - ADJUSTMENT

The angles of the rear suspension cannot be adjusted .
