1. The relevant illustrative material is presented in the illustrations, which include all references in the text.
2. Assess the degree of tread wear, replace defective tires.
3. Check that the tire inflation pressure is correct and correct if necessary.
4. The ride height of the vehicle axles is determined by the angle of inclination of the lower arms of the corresponding suspension.
5. Place the magnetic measuring element (086b) into a recess in the lower control arm (4).
Note. On models equipped with xenon headlights, remove the bolt (4a) so that it stops protruding from the lever (4). Measuring element plate (086b) must be grooved at an angle of 90°to the direction of travel.
6. Record the measurements for each arm of both suspensions.
7. Adjusting the ride height of the front axle is done by adjusting the fit of the torsion spring supports.
8. Adjustment of the clearance of the rear axle is carried out by replacing the helical springs of the rack assemblies.
