Alignment WHA own hands

There are many nuances that are very dependent on how well done adjusting the alignment. These include: how stable car while driving on the highway, the duration of the chassis, the period of tire wear. In order to properly define, as done wheel alignment is necessary, first of all, pay attention to how the car rides. In the case of a car while driving, pull to one side, and with the steering wheel can not fix it, we absolutely need to be adjusted. If you decide to configure everything yourself, your first inspect the chassis (ball bearings, thrust, various arms and hub bearings). In case of violation of one of the parts, it is better to replace it, otherwise it makes no sense to adjust the alignment, it will not lead to improvement. Further, there is a check of tires, or rather the air pressure in them. If the value is different, then we reduce them to one. Then set the car on a flat surface without deflection, the wheels have a straight. With some effort, applied to the front and rear bumpers, drop the car, to balance it. After these actions, proceed to the measurement, which would establish convergence. To do this, measure the distance between the front and rear wheels and make the difference. For the measurements can be used as spetsustroystva and a special line. The line consists of tips, telescopic tube, the control of the chain, and the tubes are connected. During the measurements using the scale of the indicator registers the motion of the tubes. Once the measurement is done, zero the scale and put the arrow back to zero. Car rolls so that the line was behind the wheel axis, while maintaining its vertical position. Those measurements, which are received and will be a deviation from the norm that represent manufacturers. To adjust for variation used clutch, which are located on the steering rods. After adjustment by tightening the bolts are tightened locknuts couplings and clamps. Using the correct box or plumb, measures the collapse. To do this, using the jack, raise the car so that the wheels may touch the ground. On the side of the tire wheel is installed and secured a point with a uniform beat. Heartbeat should be on the diametrically opposite edge. Then you should stand, for that will fit any support. Using the support, supply and drainage chalk to the side of the tire wheel which is spinning. Serifs do in places where traces of chalk. Then give the serifs to a vertical position. Applying, for example, a rectangle, we compute the value of the collapse. It is equal to the interval that starts at the top of the disk, and ends with a rectangle or a plumb line. Value should be between one to five millimeters. If this limit is exceeded, it is necessary to reduce the camber. To do this, add shims and gaskets, which must be placed between the axis of the lower lever and the crossbar. Then again, check for loose nuts. After all this work, we do control the race.
