This does not apply to vehicles with a sport suspension!
Vehicles with a standard suspension should be bounced several times.

Check toe constant after It Is adjusted
Now the wheel alignment analyzer will check the toe constant once more.
If the measured values are within the tolerance of the control value the second time they are checked, the adjustment is OK
If the measured values are outside the control value it is necessary to adjust them once more in position B2 (+60 mm).

Note: For wheel bearing housings without a groove and tie rod ends with a ring, the upward adjustment travel is about 2 mm less. If the adjustment travel is not sufficient, then the ring on the tie rod end should be removed.
