ETTING THE cAMBER INcLINATION
The camber is the inclination of the wheel level as viewed from the front (vertical).
Negative camber (wheel top edges point inward) on the front wheels increases the cornering power of the wheels when driving in bends; the steering
reacts more directly, the steering forces are reduced. At the same time, the wheel is pushed onto the axle leg in the direction of the axis.
This stops an axial bearing clearance, the driving behavior is calmer.
A negative inclination on the rear wheels reduces the tendency of the rear of the vehicle to swer-
ve in bends.
By setting a negative inclination, the wear on the inside of the tires increases. However, this
effect can be compensated by setting a toe-in.

ETTING THE ALIGNMENT
The alignment designates the position of the wheel level to the driving direction.
During the drive the tires are pushed apart in the front because of the rolling friction and this is why they are no longer exactly parallel to the drive
direction. To balance, the wheels of the stationary vehicle can be set, so that they point slightly inward.
This toe-in effects an improved lateral cornering of the tire and therefore a more direct response of the steering If a milder response of steering is
desired, this can be achieved accordingly by adjusting a toe-out , i.e. the wheels of the stationary vehicle point outward.
The right/left threaded rods with the spanner flat (1) for the separate wheel alignment of the front wheels are located in the right and left threaded rod,
between the steering knuckle arm and the steering knuckle centre part.
For a rough adjustment of the track, the outer steering links can be screwed to the axle leg at one more fixing point each ().
The toe-in of the front wheel must not exceed 4°.
Toe-in
Setting a toe-in makes the
inner part of the tires wear faster.

Twist clamping screw in the upper transverse link
clockwise:
The upper edge of the wheel is pulled inward in direction
"negative inclination".
Twist clamping screw in the upper transverse link
anticlockwise:
The upper edge of the wheel is pulled outward in direction
"positive inclination".
