Tires
Tire tread depth measurement
1. Measure the tread depth of the tire. It must be at least 1.6 mm.
2. If the measured depth is less than the limit, replace the tire with a new one.
Note: If the tread depth is less than 1.6 mm, wear indicators appear on the tire.
Tire swap
Tire swapping is carried out according to the scheme shown in the illustration below.
Control of effort on a steering wheel and a deviation from the set direction of the movement
When pulling the car to the side, change the tires.
1. Rearrange the right and left front wheels and conduct a test drive to determine directional stability.
2. If there is a pull in the opposite direction, swap the front and rear wheels and repeat the test drive.
3. If there is a drift in the same direction, then it is necessary to rearrange the right and left front wheels again and conduct another test drive.
4. If at the same time there is a withdrawal in the opposite direction, then the front wheels should be replaced.
Wheels
Tightening the wheel nuts
Tighten the wheel nuts in the order shown in the illustration.
Note: Tightening torque: 88.3- 107.9 Nm.
Attention. When using a pneumatic wrench, the final tightness of the nuts must be checked using a torque wrench.
Wheel runout control
1. Raise the car with a jack and fix it with stands.
2. Measure the wheel runout using a dial gauge at the locations shown in the illustration.
3. If the measured runout values exceed the specified values, the rim must be replaced with a new one.
Adjusting the angles of the steered wheels
Attention.
When using special computerized stands to check the alignment of the front wheels of the car, always place the car on a level surface so that the front wheels are in a straight-ahead position.
Before carrying out the test, make sure that the front suspension and steering system are in working order, and that the pressure in all tires is correct.
Convergence
Note:
- B - A > 0: Positive convergence (+)
- B - A < 0: Positive convergence (-)
Toe adjustment
1. Loosen the tie rod end locknut.
2. Loosen the boot clamp to prevent it from twisting.
3. Adjust the toe-in by rotating the steering rod in one direction or another (A). Toe adjustment must be done equally on the left and right sides.
Note:
Convergence:
- General: 0°± 0.2°.
- For one wheel: 0°±0.1°.
4. After completing the toe adjustment, tighten the boot clamp and tighten the tie rod end locknut to the specified torque.
Note: Tightening torque: 49.0 - 53.9 Nm.
Camber and caster
Camber and caster are pre-set by the manufacturer, so no further adjustments are needed. If the camber or caster is out of specification, repair or replace the damaged parts with new ones, then check again.
Note: Camber: -0.5°± 0.5°. Caster: 4.02°± 0.5°.
Rear wheel alignment
Attention.
When using special computerized stands to check the alignment of the rear wheels of the car, always place the car on a level surface so that the front wheels are in a straight-ahead position.
Before checking, make sure that the rear suspension and steering system are in working order and that all tire pressures are correct.
Convergence
Note:
- B - A > 0: Positive convergence (+)
- B - A < 0: Positive convergence (-)
Toe adjustment
1. Loosen the nut holding the eccentric bolt (A) additional suspension arm.
2. Adjust the rear wheel toe by turning the eccentric bolt (A) clockwise or counterclockwise.
Note:
Convergence:
- Total: 0.2°+ 0.2°.
- For one wheel: 0.1°±0.1°.
3. After completing the toe adjustment, tighten the eccentric bolt (A) recommended moment.
Note: Tightening torque: 100 - 120 Nm.
Camber
The camber is pre-set by the manufacturer, so it does not need additional adjustments. If the camber is out of specification, repair or replace the damaged parts with new ones, then check again.
Note: Camber: -1.0°±0.5°.
