Setting The Alignment - Reely Rhino II Bedienungsanleitung

Setting Rear Axle Camber:
For setting the camber, turn the upper transverse link
(A) as for the front axle.
Because the upper transverse link has a left and right
hand thread at either end, the transverse link does not
need to be dismantled for the camber to be adjusted
At the damper bridge (B) and in the axle spur (C), there
are several more suspension points for the upper trans-
verse link. When the wheel rebounds, the camber
changes depending on the installation position (e.g.
stronger camber when the wheel is pushed in).
b) Setting the Alignment
Wheel alignment (toe-in = figure "a", toe-out = figure "b") describes the
relation of the wheel level to the driving direction.
During the drive the tyres are pushed apart in the front because of the
rolling friction and this is why they are no longer precisely parallel to the
driving direction. To balance this, the tyres of the stationary vehicle can
be adjusted so that they point slightly inwards. This toe-in improves the
lateral cornering of the tyres and thus a more direct response to the
steering.
If a milder response to steering is desired, this can be achieved accord-
ingly by adjusting a toe-out, i.e. the wheels of the stationary vehicle
point outward. An alignment angle of 0° on the front axle ensures the
best driveability on almost any ground.
An alignment angle of more than 3° toe-in (a) or toe-out (b) will lead to handling problems and decreased
speed. It will also increase tyre wear.
The figure above shows a strongly over-emphasised setting that is only used for showing the difference
between toe-in and toe-out. If such a setting is used for the vehicle, it will be very difficult to control!
