Steering angle
Toe-in must be correctly adjusted before checking the steering angle.
Turn the steering wheel, to the left for example, until the right wheel, i.e. the outer wheel, is at an angle of 20. If the steering angle is correct, the other wheel, i.e. the inner wheel, should be at an angle of 20.9° +/-0.5.
Measurement of the steering angle is carried out using two standard, graduated turntables combined with optical measuring equipment, see Fig 1 . Each turntable should be centered as accurately as possible underneath the pivot center of the respective wheel.
If the measurements show the steering angle to be incorrect, then one or both steering swivel members have become distorted. Defective steering swivel members must be changed.
