Adjustment values for Suspension alignment


Warning

Risk of accident due to incorrect functioning of steering angle sensor if it is uncalibrated or incorrectly calibrated.

There is a risk of accidents causing physical damage to persons or objects in the PSM testing area.

After working on wheel suspension parts, when replacing the steering-angle sensor and after changing the wheel alignment values, calibrate the steering angle sensor with the front wheels in straight-ahead position using the PIWIS tester.

Check the actual value of the steering angle sensor after a suspension alignment where no changes were made to the wheel alignment values.




Note

The following values relate to the empty weight, i.e. full fuel tank, vehicle with tools but without driver or additional weights.

The toe-difference angle value is also influenced by the vehicle height. For this reason the measured result must be evaluated accordingly. No action is necessary in the case of small deviations from the toe-difference angle's required value as long as the value to the right and left is almost the same.
