FRONT END

36 Checking the front wheel alignment
Correct front wheel alignment is of vital
i mportance for the steering of the vehicle.
Faulty adjustment can mean heavy wear
on the tyres. For this reason, have the front
wheel alignment checked regularly at your
l ocal Volvo workshop every 10 000 km
(6000 miles). If the vehicle has been in
collision involving heavy impact and it is
suspected that the wheel alignment may
have been affected, take the vehicle to a
Volvo workshop for a check on the front
wheel alignment as
soon as possible.
Volvo workshops have special measuring
equipment for this purpose and can carry
out this control very quickly. The front
wheel alignment angles are
page 67.
37 Checking the ball joints,
steering rods, etc.
After every 10 000 km (6000 miles) the ve-
hicle should be taken to a workshop for a
check on the front end concerning exces-
sive play in the ball joints, steering gear, etc.
After every 10 000 km (6000 miles) or at
l east once a year, the ball joint seal should
also be checked for damage and leakage.
When new seals are fitted they should be
filled with the recommended grease.
