Setting The Alignment - Reely Rally-Truck 1086094 Notice D'emploi

Note:
• Change the settings only gradually and then check the changed running conduct to see if it corresponds
to your expectations. Write down the changes made so that you can easily reverse them again.
• If the ball-headed screws (A) and (B) are turned into opposite directions (one screw clockwise and the
other counter-clockwise), this changes the toe-in/out instead of the camber!
• Twist both ball-head screws (A) and (B) evenly at all times, e.g. both screws on quarter-turn clockwise.
• Ensure that the thread of the ball-headed screws (A) and (B) remains screwed into the transverse link to
at least 2/3. If the screws are turned out too far, the drive shaft may fall out, and there is also a danger of
the transverse link being damaged if the ball-headed screw breaks from the thread.
If both ball-headed screws are turned in too far, the drive will be too hard-going. This must also be avo-
ided.
• The two outer metal grub-screws (C) are for fastening the ball-headed screws (A) and (B) in the axle
stub.
It is correct and best if the ball-headed screws in the axle stub can be moved easily without shaking. Only
then is the wheel suspended properly!
Do not tighten the metal grub screws (C) forcefully, because this will make the suspension too stiff and
prevent the wheel from rebounding properly.
If the metal grub screw (C) is not turned out enough, the ball-head screws (A) and (B) will wobble in the
axle spur and driving conduct will become uncontrollable since the wheel camber will change during
driving.
b) Setting the Alignment
Wheel alignment (toe-in = figure „A", toe-out = figure „B") describes the
relation of the wheel level to the driving direction.
While driving, the tyres are pushed apart in the front because of the rol-
ling friction. This is why they are no longer precisely parallel to the driving
direction.
To compensate, the tyres of the stationary vehicle can be adjusted so that
they point slightly inwards. This toe-in improves lateral cornering of the
tyres and leads to a more direct response to steering.
If a milder response to steering is desired, this can be achieved accordin-
gly by adjusting a toe-out, i.e. the wheels of the stationary vehicle point
outward.
The figure above shows a strongly over-emphasised setting. It is only used for showing the difference
between toe-in and toe-out. If such a setting is used for the vehicle, it will be very difficult to control!
