Geometrical parameters of wheel installation (VW Beetle)

Optimal driving performance and minimal tire wear can only be achieved with proper wheel installation. In case of abnormal tire wear and poor vehicle stability on the road (poor cornering) it is necessary to carry out appropriate measurements (they are carried out in a specialized workshop).

If it is not possible to carry out comprehensive measurements, you should limit yourself to checking the wheel alignment.

When taking measurements, the following requirements must be met:

• the car must be parked on a flat horizontal surface;
• the tire pressure must be correct;
• the car must be unloaded (with a spare tire and (if possible) filled tank);
• the steering must be adjusted correctly;
• there should be no play in the steering rods.

Before checking, the car should be rocked from the front several times to ensure that the front suspension is in working position.
