3

Compare the measured toe-out on turns with specified value

 The steering geometry is checked by measuring the toe-out angle. This is the steer angle difference between the outer and inner wheel for an inner wheel steer angle of 20°.

Toe-out angle with inside wheel steered through 20°

*BE40.20-P-1001-08I

 If substantial deviations are found, the cause may be one of the following, assuming that the camber and caster settings are correct:

 The toe is not adjusted in the straight-ahead position of the rack-and-pinion steering so that uneven tie rod lengths have resulted,

 Deformation of steering parts or tie rods e.g. through damage due to an accident,

 Deformation of front axle carrier or of chassis parts, e.g. through damage due to an accident,

 Deformation of the body, e.g. due to accident damage.

 Check for impermissible deformation on the body. See: 

Check accident vehicles and vehicles possibly damaged in an accident.
