  1. Check the tie rod ends, suspension joints, wheel bearings and wheels and tires for damage, wear and free play. Check and adjust the tire pressures. Roll the vehicle backwards and forwards to settle the steering and suspension. Make sure the wheel alignment equipment is properly calibrated.
  2. Note the readings from the steering geometry test equipment and adjust the geometry as required. See «Specifications»(/land-rover/range-rover/l322-2005-2009/remont/suspension/#suspension-system-general-information) ..
  3. Adjust the rear wheel alignment.
  4. Adjust the rear camber. Loosen the rear camber adjusting bolt. Rotate the rear camber adjusting bolt until the correct value is obtained. Tighten the nut to 165 Nm (121 lb.ft). Repeat the above procedure for the other side.
  5. Adjusting the toe. Loosen the tie-rod end lock nut. Turn the eccentric and adjust the toe to the specified value. Tighten the nut to 165 Nm (121 lb.ft). Repeat the above procedure for the other side.
  6. Adjust the front wheel alignment.
  7. Adjust the front camber. Remove the suspension turret cap. Break off the damper location pin. Loosen the damper nut illustrated. Repeat the above procedure for the other side.
  8. Install the special tool. Loosen the 2 remaining damper nuts. Adjust the camber to the specified value by rotating the nut on the special tool. Tighten the nuts to 56 Nm (41 lb.ft). Repeat the above procedure for the other side.
  9. Adjust the front toe.
  10. Loosen the tie-rod end lock nut. Align the steering to straight ahead. Adjust the steering gear tie rod, rotate using the hexagon on the tie rod. Check, and if necessary, repeat the wheel alignment procedure until the correct values are obtained. Tighten the tie rod end lock nut to 55 Nm (40 lb.ft). Repeat the above procedure for the other side.
