Miscellaneous
The steered wheel alignment is not adjustable. If the link levers
have been deformed so that the wheel alignment has been dis-
turbed, the link levers must be replaced.
NOTE. The orientation of the link levers must be correct, since
they will otherwise be damaged by the wheels when the steering
movements are large. The correct orientation of the levers is
shown in the figure.
