199001003 - 4450A40 REAR WHEEL GEOMETRY - CHECK USING OPTICAL EQUIPMENT, INCLUDES ADJUSTMENT IF NECESSARY

- This check procedure must be carried out after each operation on the rear suspension mechanical components since its purpose is to define the position of the wheel in relation to the body (e.g.: track control arms, struts, shock absorbers, springs etc.).OPERATING CYCLEIntroductionThe wheel geometry/angle checks must be carried out using appropriate optical equipment after checking and adjusting tyre inflation pressure to the specified values and ensuring that the vehicle respects one of the following load conditions:- “Standard 0” - vehicle unladen including spare wheel, tools, accessories and consumables with 5 litres of fuel- “Standard A” - vehicle unladen including spare wheel, tools, accessories and consumables (full tank of fuel). CHECKING AND ADJUSTING REAR SUSPENSION GEOMETRY/ANGLESChecking geometry- Before checking rear wheel geometry, ensure that the ground clearance A indicated in the figure is within the specified values.
