Setting The Alignment - Reely ROAD Subaru 4WD RtR Notice D'emploi

Setting Rear Axle Camber:
For setting the camber, turn the screw (A) of
the upper transverse link.
Because this screw has a left and right hand
thread at either end, 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). When the wheel rebounds, the camber
changes depending on the installation position
(e.g. stronger camber when the wheel is
pushed in).
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.
During the drive the tyres are pushed apart in the front because of the
rolling friction and this is why they are no longer precisely parallel to the
driving direction. To balance this, the tyres of the stationary vehicle can
be adjusted so that they point slightly inwards. This toe-in improves the
lateral cornering of the tyres and thus a more direct response to the
steering.
If a milder response to steering is desired, this can be achieved accord-
ingly by adjusting a toe-out, i.e. the wheels of the stationary vehicle
point outward. An alignment angle of 0° on the front axle ensures the
best driveability on almost any ground.
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 that 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!
