Wheel balancing Wheels are balanced at the factory. Balancing is necessary to eliminate uneven distribution of material and inaccuracies in wheel manufacturing. During the operation of the car,...
Tire wear Tires of correctly balanced wheels, while maintaining the prescribed pressure in them, with correct wheel geometry adjustment and serviceable shock absorbers, wear approximately...
Uneven tire wear Uneven tire wear in most cases is due to too low or too high air pressure in them, and can also be the result of incorrect wheel alignment and balancing, poor condition of shock...
Wheel replacement It is not recommended to change wheels unnecessarily, because. with their frequent removal and installation (the latter is usually done in practice without a torque wrench and...
Geometric parameters of wheel installation Optimum driving performance and minimum tire wear can only be achieved by properly fitting the wheels. With abnormal tire wear and poor vehicle stability on the road (poor...
Adjustment of a convergence of forward wheels Set the roller steering mechanism to the middle position. The marking ring on the steering shaft must be aligned with the edge of the steering gear housing. Mount the toe-in gauge...
Front camber adjustment (suspension with shock absorbers) The front camber can be adjusted individually for each wheel by turning the eccentric bolts on the rocker arm. The oscillating arm mounted in the silent block can then be moved to...
