Before disconnecting the battery, make sure that all requirements and conditions contained in the section on disconnecting the battery are met.
GENERAL INFORMATION, Precautions when working with electrical equipment.
Checking the wheel camber angle
1. Check for wear and play in the steering joints, suspension joints and wheel hub bearings. Repair or adjust if necessary.
2. Make sure that the tire pressure is normal and the vehicle body height is normal.
3. Roll the vehicle back and forth to relieve stress in the suspension and steering components.
4. Make sure the wheel alignment equipment is properly calibrated.
Note: Use only the four-wheel angle adjustment equipment recommended by Land Rover.
Adjustment
1. Disconnect the negative terminal from the battery.
2. Using the equipment readings, adjust the installation angles in accordance with the standards.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS, Steering.
3. Adjusting the rear wheel alignment angles.
4. Camber adjustment:
5. Loosen the upper ball joint nut approximately 3/4 of a turn.
6. Turn the eccentric to set the camber angle value in accordance with the standard.
7. Tighten the upper ball joint nut to 165 N·m.
8. Repeat the operation for the wheel on the other side.
9. Adjusting the rear wheel alignment:
10. Loosen the trailing arm mounting nut approximately 3/4 of a turn.
11. By turning the eccentric, set the toe angle value in accordance with the standard.
12. Tighten the upper ball joint nut to 165 N·m.
13. Repeat the operation for the wheel on the other side.
14. Adjusting the front wheel alignment angles.
15. Camber adjustment:
16. Remove the upper shock absorber mounting cover.
17. Remove the mounting pin.
18. Loosen the upper shock absorber mounting nut.
19. Install the LRT-57-045 tool onto the upper shock absorber support.
20. Loosen the remaining nuts of the upper shock absorber support.
21. Set the required camber value by turning the nut of the LRT-57-045 device.
22. Tighten the upper shock absorber mounting nut to 56 N·m.
23. Repeat the operation for the wheel on the other side.
24. Adjusting the front wheel alignment.
25. Set the front wheels to the straight-ahead position and make sure that the steering shaft gear position marks match.
26. Mark the position of each tie rod end relative to the tie rod.
27. Loosen the locknuts securing the ends of the steering rods.
28. Adjust the wheel alignment by turning the steering rod, acting on the steering rod hexagon. Do not allow the tip body to turn or the protective cover to tighten.
CAUTION: The right and left steering rods must turn at the same angles.
29. Check the front wheel alignment again.
30. Tighten the steering rod locknuts to a tightening torque of 55 N·m.
31. Connect the negative terminal to the battery.
