STEERING - MANDO 26 8.9.CAMBER ADJUSTMENT 1. Loosen the two strut mounting bolts. 2. Rotate the eccentric pin on top of the strut till required camber value is achieved. If not check eccentric pin for excessive wear. If so, replace with new one. 3. First tighten the eccentric pin flanged nut to specified torque & then tighten the bottom bolt to specified torque. TOE OUT ADJUSTMENT 1. Loosen the tie rod end check nuts. 2. Steering rack and gear pinion comes with 1396.20 ± 3 mm length between centers of the ball joint with tie rods parallel to the rack. (As shown in the following figure) Ensure that number of threads of outer ball joints exposed out of the tie rods same on LH and RH side. 3. Rotate the steering wheel from lock to lock. Measure the number of turns 4. Bring the steering gear to center by rotating through half the number of measured turns. 5. Remove the steering wheel & Refit it so that spokes & mascot (T-emblem) are correctly positioned. 6. Ensure that both front tyres are in straight ahead position. Tighten the steering wheel nut to specified torque. 7. Adjust toe-out as given below. b. Toe-out is adjusted varying the lengths of tie rods after loosening their lock nuts (as shown in above figure). After adjusting the length of tie rods recheck toe-in and tighten back the lock nuts. Increasing length of tie rod will reduce the toe-out and vice-versa. c. While adjusting toe-out, adjust the length of both tie rods by rotating them in the same direction such that their length remains equal at all times. 8. Check the position of the T-emblem and the spokes if the steering wheel is not centered, adjust the tie rod lengths by reducing one and increasing the other so that in the SAP (Straight Ahead Parked) condition the toe is correct and yet steering wheel is centered. NOTE: If toe is excessively out of limit, first adjust toe, then the camber and then adjust toe again. Not following the sequence i.e. first camber and then toe out will lead to incorrect wheel alignment even though individual adjustments are done correctly. After setting/adjusting steering geometry (i.e. Toe), connect the diagnostic tool and follow the instruction for ECU learning. This is applicable for all variants fitted with EPAS. WHEEL ALIGNMENT VALUES (In unladen condition) FRONT REAR Caster 2º15' ± 45' - Camber -30' ± 30' -52' ± 30' Toe In 0' to 13' -3' + 27' Toe Out - - Camber angle deviation (Between LH & RH) 20' 20' Toe angle deviation (Between LH & RH) - 13' NOTE: It is recommended to set toe & camber values at mid of the specification range. It is recommended to have minimum difference between LH & RH set camber values. The difference between LH & RH set values should be within 20’ maximum. While removal and re-fitment of steering rack and pinion assembly or replacing the tie rods on the vehicle, the above procedure should be followed before going in for actual wheel alignment.
