ETTING THE CAMBER INCLINATION
The camber is the inclination of the wheel level as viewed from the front (vertical).
Negative camber (wheel top edges point inward) on the front wheels increases the cornering power of
the wheels when driving in bends; the steering reacts more directly, the steering forces are reduced. At the
same time, the wheel is pushed onto the axle leg in the direction of the axis.
Negative camber
This stops an axial bearing clearance, the driving behavior is calmer.
A negative inclination on the rear wheels reduces the tendency of the rear of the vehicle to swerve in
�������������
bends.
By setting a negative inclination, the wear on the inside of the tires increases. However, this effect can be
Positive camber
compensated by setting a toe-in.
Adjusting the inclination in positive direction until a positive inclination (wheel top edges point outward)
reduces the cornering power of the wheels.

Adjusting the inclination at the front and rear wheels
Right/ left threaded rods with spanner flat (5mm) to fine tune the inclination of the camber are located respectively in the
upper transverse links.
���������������
Fine tuning of inclination on front and rear wheels
- Twist clamping screw in the upper transverse link
clockwise:
The upper edge of the wheel is pulled inward in direction
"negative inclination".
- Twist clamping screw in the upper transverse link
anticlockwise:
The upper edge of the wheel is pulled outward in direction
"positive inclination".
Ensure a balanced tuning of the cornering power of
front and rear axles as differences can result in an
over-steering or an under-steering driving behavior.

ETTING THE ALIGNMENT
The alignment designates the position of the wheel level to the driving direction.
During the drive the tires are pushed apart in the front because of the rolling friction and this is why they are no longer
exactly parallel to the drive direction. To balance, the wheels of the stationary vehicle can be set, so that they point slightly
inward. This toe-in effects an improved lateral cornering of the tire and therefore a more direct response of the steering If a
milder response of steering is desired, this can be achieved accordingly by adjusting a toe-out , i.e. the wheels of the stati-
onary vehicle point outward.
The clamping screws with spanner flat (5mm) for the separa-
te adjustment of the inclination of the front wheel are located in
the right and left steering link.
The toe-in of the front wheel must not exceed 4°.
Toe-in
Setting a toe-in makes the inner part of the tires
wear faster.
�����������
Toe-out
Setting a toe-out makes the outer part of the tires wear faster.
