Front Measurement

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 12 other vehicles, including the 2004 Volvo XC90, 2004 Volvo XC70, 2004 Volvo V70, 2004 Volvo S60, and 2003 Volvo XC90. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Check that the instruments are adjusted in relation to each other on the front and rear axles. Front wheel toe-in is adjusted in relation to the car's thrust line. Thrust line is the line created when the rear wheels toe-in angles are equally divided. See Fig 1 .
  2. The difference between the wheel symmetry line and the thrust line is called the thrust angle. This angle may deviate by a maximum of 15° from the symmetry line.
  3. Center and lock steering wheel. Check the front wheel toe-in. Check measurement against specification. See WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS  . Adjust as needed. See TOE-IN ADJUSTMENT  .
