Set the front wheels straight.
Install the wheel alignment gauge on the front edge of the wheel disc at the height of its center. Set the instrument scale to zero and mark the measurement point with chalk.
Roll the car forward half a turn of the wheels. Place the wheel alignment gauge on the rear edge of the wheel disc at the point marked with chalk and take the measurement.
Compare the measured value with the required value (see table at the end of the chapter).
Toe-in can only be adjusted on the right tie rod. To do this, loosen the inner clamping band and the outer hex nut.
Set the specified wheel alignment by turning the steering rod.

Caution! If wheel alignment is performed using an optical measuring device, check that the steering wheel is in the center position with the wheels straight ahead (the steering wheel spokes should be horizontal). Otherwise, the steering wheel will need to be moved.
Important! If wheel alignment is performed using a mechanical measuring device, check during a test drive that the steering wheel is centered when driving straight ahead. If not, move it.
Secure the tie rod with clamps and locknuts.
