Wheel Alignment - Checking/adjusting (Convertible): Adjustments Volvo C70 I

Note. When working on the steering or wheel alignment on cars with DSTC, the adaptation of the steering wheel angle must be set to zero using VIDA. Test drive. See Test Drive Form (DSTC (dynamic stability and traction control)/brake control module), description .

Note. For tightening torques, see: Tightening torque .

Note. When checking and adjusting front wheel alignment the following applies

1. Any adjustment to the front camber angle must always be carried out before adjusting the toe angle.
2. Since the car's rear wheels also have adjustable toe angles, the front toe angle must always be adjusted in relation to the car's geometric driving axis (the thrust line). This is to achieve maximum stability and minimum tire wear.
3. All measurements must be made using alignment equipment for four-wheel drive vehicles.
4. All measurements must be made with the car empty
5. All measurements must be made with a full fuel tank
6. Check all the tire pressures before beginning measurement.

Scheme 44

Raise the front end. Lift under the control arms as close to the ball joint as possible.

Check that there is no play in

1. The tie rods
2. The wheel bearings
3. The upper spring strut mounting
4. The ball joints or control arm bushings.

If there is play in any of the components above, this must be remedied before the wheel settings are checked/adjusted.
