The collapse of the toe with his own hands

Some motorists wanting to save money, constantly thinking about how to take care of adjusting the convergence of the collapse, not turning at the same time in the garages. Indeed, to date, we can make this work with their hands, in addition, during the Soviet era and do, because in those days there was no service stations. Moreover, there are many ways to adjust. First we will discuss such things as gathering and collapse. Ret - is the angle between the longitudinal axis of the car and the plane of rotation of the wheel. That is, front-wheel drive vehicles are rotated slightly to each other. A breakdown - it is the angle between the vertical and the plane of rotation of the wheel. That is, front-wheel drive cars are slightly at an angle rather than vertically. The most important thing, self-regulation, convergence, and collapse is the measurement of angles. In this article we will cover the most basic version of the measure of angles. In order to measure the angles of convergence of the collapse, you need two fishing hooks and fishing line, as well as a magnet, bar 9 mm thick, the line and building a plumb First, you need to put the car into the garage with a pit or any other flat area. Then expose the steering wheel straight, and then hook fishing line fishing hooks up to the front wheel and pull to the rear. Fishing line should be at the center level of axles the vehicle. Next you need to insert a bar of thickness 9mm, it should be inserted between the lateral surface of the rear wheels, namely the left, closer to the door. In this case, the line should be fitted without the tightness and gaps, to the right surface of the front wheel. If the line was tight or not tight, you need to change the length of the tie rod. To this end, near the adjusting sleeves, loosen locknut and turn it to change the size of the steering rod. To independently adjust the camber, you will help a magnet. Attach building plumb with a magnet to the front wing of the car. This should be done so that the center of the wheel axle was held fishing line. Next you need to measure the distance between the upper part of the disc, and then vymeryat distance to the bottom of the disc. Discs should be smooth. In the lower part of the disk size must be greater than at the top to 3.2 + -0.5 mm. If size is smaller, then you have to adjust the collapse. Adjustment is done in different ways, depending on the vehicle. For example, if the car has MacPherson front suspension, then you need to have a telescopic racks rotate the upper mounting bolt to the steering knuckle. And if you're dealing with a Double-arm suspension, then you have to adjust the camber by adding or removing shims, and washers, which are located between the beam axis and the lower arm. These examples are used to control many cars. Of course, small errors are allowed in the measurements. Otherwise, you can always ask for help at any service station.
