Checking full wheel lock

The wheel alignment computer is used to determine the full steer‐
ing lock.
– When the values for the maximum wheel lock lie outside the
tolerances, then check following:
♦ Are steering or suspension components damaged or de‐
formed?
♦ Are track rods visually OK.?
♦ Is the symmetry of the track rods OK.?
Damaged components must be renewed.
– If the steering wheel is crooked, check the following:
♦ Check steering components for damage and deformation. If
necessary, renew damaged components.
♦ Check suspension components for damage and deformation.
If necessary, renew damaged components.
♦ Also check the symmetry of the track rods.
– Measure dimension -a- of "shorter" track rod. Shorten the "lon‐
ger" track rod end to the same dimension. To do so, screw
track rod ball joint -1- further onto track rod -2-.
Dimension -a- must be the same on left side and right side track
rod ball joints.
Maximum permissible difference between left and right < 2.5 mm.
– On returning the steering to the centre position, allow the
steering wheel to "settle" with uniform movements.
