Checking and adjusting wheel alignment angles (Hyundai Accent MC)

Preliminary work

1. Balance the wheels and check the air pressure in the tires.

2. Check the wheel bearing runout.

3. Check the tightness of the ball joint and steering knuckle fasteners.

4. Completely unload the trunk and disembark all passengers.

5. Rock the front of the car several times to check the operation of the shock absorbers.

Note: Checking and adjustment must be performed strictly in the following sequence: longitudinal tilt of the steering axis → camber → toe-in.

Checking the longitudinal tilt of the pivot axis

6. Measure the longitudinal tilt of the steering axis using special equipment. Nominal value: 4°00' ±30' (to the road surface); 4°30' (to the body). If the measured value is different from the specified range, check the front suspension parts and replace the damaged element if necessary.

Note: the value of the longitudinal tilt of the steering axis is determined by the design of the car and is not subject to adjustment. Violation of this angle indicates a malfunction of the suspension or body elements.

Checking and adjusting the camber

Please note: The front suspension is designed in such a way that no camber adjustment is required.

7. Measure the wheel camber angle (A) using special equipment. Standard value: 0° ±30' (front wheel); -1±30' (rear wheel).

Checking and adjusting the alignment

8. Using a ruler, measure the full toe-in of the front wheels (B-A). Nominal value: -2-2 mm (front axle); 2-6 mm (rear axle). If the measured value is outside the specified value range, adjust the wheel alignment.



9. Set the front wheels straight ahead and lock the steering wheel.

10. Loosen the lock nut (A) of the end and the clamp of the steering rod boot. Turn the steering rod to adjust the wheel toe-in.





11. After completing the adjustment, tighten the boot clamp and tighten the lock nut. Tightening torque: 50-55 Nm.
