General information

The bearing element of the front axle is a beam bolted to the body. Both transverse levers are attached to the beam of the front axle, which are attached to the steering knuckles with their other ends. Through the steering knuckles, the transverse levers are connected to the suspension struts. The front wheels are driven by two cardan shafts.

Optimum driving dynamics and minimal tire wear are only achieved with perfect wheel alignment. In case of abnormal tire wear and unsatisfactory driving stability, it is necessary to contact a service station to measure the parameters of the running gear using the optical method. It is impossible to perform such measurements without the appropriate measuring equipment. The adjustment value of the total toe-in of the front axle for the POLO/IBIZA vehicle is 0°± 10'.

Safety instructions

Welding and straightening work on the bearing and guiding parts of the front wheel suspensions is not allowed. Self-locking nuts, as well as rusty bolts and nuts, must be replaced in case of repair.
