b) Setting the alignment
Wheel alignment (toe-in = figure "a", toe-out = figure "b") describes the
alignment of the wheel with regard to the driving direction.
During driving the tyres are pushed apart at the front because of the roll-
ing friction and are therefore no longer exactly parallel to the direction of
travel.
To balance this out, the tyres of the stationary vehicle can be adjusted in a
way so that they point slightly towards the inside. This toe-in improves the
lateral cornering of the tire and therefore leads to 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.
A trail angle of more than 3° toe-in (A) or toe-out (B) leads to handling problems and reduces the speed. It
also increases tyre wear.
The figure above shows a heavily over-emphasised setting. It is only used to show the difference between
toe-in and toe-out. If a similar setting is used for the vehicle, it will be very difficult to control!
Setting the front axle alignment:
For the front axle, the alignment can be set by turning
the steering knuckle arm (A). As this has a left and right
hand-thread, it does not have to be disassembled to be
adjusted.
Turn both steering knuckle arms the same amount (left
and right front wheel). Otherwise, the trim on the trans-
mitter has to be adjusted (or possibly the steering servo
control by adjusting the servo rod).
There are two attachment points on the axle spur (B) for
the steering knuckle arm. These are used to change the
steering angle of the front wheel (Ackermann angle).
The manufacturer has already applied the best setting for this. Therefore, you should not change the attachment point
at the steering knuckles.
Setting the rear axle alignment:
The vehicle has a rigid axle, the camber is not adjustable.
