If the Measured Values are Outside the Allowed Tolerances, the Cause may be Incorrect Vehicle Positioning

RHD vehicles or for example vehicles with automatic transmission can lean to one side slightly.

This is due to the installation position of the assemblies and the corresponding weight transfer and is normal.

-- It is absolutely necessary to measure the dimension -a- on left and right sides at the rear.

-- If necessary, correct the existing difference.

At the front axle, it can be compensated by applying weights onto corresponding suspension strut dome in the engine compartment.

At the rear axle, it can be compensated by applying weights in the luggage compartment on the corresponding vehicle side.

For example, sand bags of approximately 10 kg (22.05 lbs) are suitable as weights.
