© 200423 2-7 Inspection and adjustment FRONT AXLE/LEADING REAR AXLE ΧΦ65/75/85 series 7 6 2.4 INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT, TOE Inspection of toe Use high-quality wheel alignment equipment for the inspection. The equipment must be calibrated regularly and preferably be of the type that can be calibrated before every use. Follow the instructions for the wheel alignment equipment carefully. 2. Ensure that the steering gear is free of tension. To that end, drive the vehicle, if possible, directly to the place of measurement. If this is not possible, drive forwards and backwards at the place of measurement with the steering gear in the "straight ahead" position. Do not brake excessively because of weight transmission to front axle. 3. Measure the axle load of the axle being inspected. 4. Measure the toe of the axle. 5. Using the graph for the axle concerned, inspect whether the toe is correct or must be corrected (see 'Technical data'). There are two examples explaining how the graphs are to be read in 'Technical data'. Note: If a large deviation is measured, the cause should be traced. The deviation could, for example, have been caused by a collision, during which components were bent. If so, the remaining steering gear components should be inspected carefully. Example 1 version, used as a leading rear axle or first front axle in a vehicle with two steered front axles. The measured axle load is 4,000 kg and the measured toe is 2 mm/m (toe-in). The intersection of the lines (A) occurs in the shaded area. This shows you that the toe is within the permitted tolerance. The toe does not have to be corrected. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 0 -1 0,5 -0,5 -1,5 1,5 2,5 3,5 4,5 5,5 -2 2 3 4 5 6 1 mm/m 152 N x 1000 KG A S700910 |
