AXLE GEOMETRY
General conditions required for adjustment
H1 = R1 – L1
H1 : Front height (+7. – 10 mm)
R1 : Wheel radius in mm.
L1 : Theoretical dimension between
the front subframe contact surface
and the wheel axis
Example : front height
- Measure dimension R1 (centre of the wheel) on the vehicle.
- Subtract L1 from R1 (See the table on page 223) and calculate H1.
- Measure H1 on the vehicle.
- The measured dimension H1 should be the same as the calculated
dimension H1 (+ 7. – 10 mm)
- Adjust the heights if necessary.
Note : After each body movement, and before each measurement :
Move the vehicle backwards and forwards slightly by pushing the
road wheel by hand.
H2 = R2 + L2
H2 : Rear height (+7. – 10 mm)
R2 : Wheel radius in mm.
L2 : heoretical dimension between
the bearing surface of the bodyshell
and the wheel axis
