4.

Place the two gauge bars in the swivel axle 

holes.

Place a straight edge with a protractor on the 

spring seat. Measure the angle of the gauge 

bars in relation to the spring seats. The angle 

measured should be 90

.

5.

Measure the king pin inclination (KPI) by 

placing a straight edge with a protractor on 

the spring seats.

By placing the straight edge of the ruler 

parallel with the gauge bar, the angle can be 

read.

6.

If a deviation is found during one of the 

inspections, the axle housing should be 

replaced.

The axle housing should not be 

straightened. This could affect the 

material strength.

2.11 INSPECTION OF WHEEL RIM

General
1.

Inspect the wheel rims for the following 

points:

-

deformation of the wheel rims, wheel 

disc and/or Trilex parts. In the case of 

twin wheels, also inspect the inside 

wheel.

-

deformation or cracking of the wheel 

stud holes.

-

corrosion, including at the tyre side of 

the rim and on the rim ring.

2.

Cracked or damaged wheel rims or wheel 

rims with cracked or deformed wheel stub 

holes should be replaced.

It is prohibited to weld wheel rims or repair 

these in some other way. After some time, 

the weld will crack again due to the dynamic 

load.

When removing such a damaged 

wheel rim from the vehicle, deflate 

the tyre (remove the tyre valve) in 

view of possible tensions in the 

wheel rim.

3.

To prevent damage to the tyre due to 

corrosion and/or indirect tension cracks (due 

to notching), the anti-corrosion treatment of 

the wheel rim should stay fully intact.

For the removal of corrosion and repair of the 

paint layer, see 'Paint treatment'. 

Before re-spraying, remove the old paint 

layer to prevent the total paint layer from 

becoming too thick. The total paint layer 

thickness should not exceed 50 microns.

At a total paint layer thickness (wash 

primer and finishing paint) of more 

than 50 microns, the pre-tension of 

the wheel studs might be reduced if 

this layer were to be crushed. This 

could result in the wheel nuts 

coming loose.

2.12 INSPECTION OF WHEEL SPEED SENSOR RING

1.

Remove the wheel hub unit. See 'Removal 

and installation'.

2.

Check the sensor ring (1) for deposits. 

Special attention should be paid to deposits 

between the sensor ring teeth

Clean the sensor ring if necessary.

3.

Check the sensor ring (1) for damage. Even 

the tiniest damage may cause a failure.

Replace the sensor ring if necessary, see 

chapter 'Removal and installation'.

4.

If possible, the sensor ring (1) should be 

checked for the maximum admissible axial 

end play. See 'Technical data'.

5.

Check the sensor (2) for freedom of 

movement.

If the sensor cannot move freely, remove, 

clean and refit it. See chapter 'Removal and 

installation'.

Never tap the sensor into the swivel 

axle using a hammer. This may 

damage both the sensor and the 

sensor ring.

6.

Check the operation of the EBS or ABS 

system.
