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.
The tyres are pushed apart in the front by rolling friction when driving.
Therefore, they are no longer precisely parallel to the driving direc-
tion.
To compensate, the tyres of the stationary vehicle can be adjusted so
that they point slightly inwards. This toe-in improves lateral cornering
of the tyres and leads to a more direct response to steering.
If a milder response to steering is desired, this can be achieved ac-
cordingly by adjusting a toe-out, i.e. the wheels of the stationary ve-
hicle point outward.
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. It 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!
Setting front axle alignment:
For the front axle, alignment can be set by turning the
track rod lever (A). Because it has a left and right hand
thread each, it does not need to be dismantled to be ad-
justed.
Turn both track rod levers evenly (left and right front
wheel). Otherwise, you need to adjust the trim of the
transmitter (or even change the steering servo control by
adjusting the servo rod).
The axle stub (B) also has several attachment points for
the track rod lever, which are used for changing the de-
flection angle of the front wheel (Ackermann angle).
The manufacturer already selected the best setting. Therefore, you should not change the attachment point (B).
Setting rear axle alignment:
The track of the rear axle in this vehicle is set and cannot be changed.
