Setting Rear Axle Camber:
For setting the camber, twist the upper transverse link
(A) as for the front axle.
Because the upper transverse link has a left and right
hand thread each, the transverse link does not need
to be dismantled for the camber to be adjusted.
There are several more suspension points for the upper
transverse link at the damper bridge (B) and in the
axle leg (C). When the wheel rebounds, the camber
changes depending on the installation position (e.g.
stronger camber when the wheel is pushed in).
b) Setting the Alignment
Wheel alignment (toe-in = figure „a“, toe-out = figure „b“) describes the
relation of the wheel level to the driving direction.
The tyres are pushed apart in the front by rolling friction when driving.
Therefore, they are no longer precisely parallel to the driving direction.
To compensate, the tyres of the stationary vehicle can be adjusted so
that they point slightly inwards. This toe-in improves lateral cornering of
the tyres and leads to a more direct response to steering.
If a milder response to steering is desired, this can be achieved
accordingly by adjusting a toe-out, i.e. the wheels of the stationary
vehicle point outward. An alignment angle of 0° on the front axle ensures
the best driveability on almost any ground.
An alignment angle of more than 3° toe-in (a) or toe-out (b) will lead to handling problems and decreased
speed. It will also increase tyre wear.
The figure above shows a strongly over-emphasised setting. It is only used for showing the difference
between toe-in and toe-out. If such a setting is used for the vehicle, it will be very difficult to control!
