Setting The Alignment - Reely Supersonic Notice D'emploi

Setting Rear Axle Camber:
For setting the camber, twist the upper transverse link (A)
as for the front axle.
Because the upper transverse link has a left and right
hand thread each, the transverse link does not need to be
dismantled for the camber to be adjusted.
There are several more suspension points for the upper
transverse link at the damper bridge (B) and in the axle
stub (C). When the wheel rebounds, the camber changes
depending on the installation position (e.g. stronger cam-
ber when the wheel is pushed in).
The manufacturer already selected the best setting for the
vehicle. Therefore, you should not change the attachment
points (B) and (C).
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.
The tyres are pushed apart in the front by rolling friction when driv-
ing. Therefore, 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
accordingly by adjusting a toe-out, i.e. the wheels of the stationary
vehicle point outward.
An alignment angle of more than 3° toe-in (A) or toe-out (B) will lead to handling problems and decreased
speed. It will also increase tyre wear.
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!
