Set up the test equipment on the front and rear wheels. Set up the test equipment according to the instructions. Position the turntables under the front wheels. Use turntables which take up lateral movement.

NOTE:

The car must stand level when the front wheels are on the turntables. This is to ensure that the correct values are obtained when checking the camber and caster.

Bounce the front and rear suspension heavily a few times when the car has sunk onto the turntables. This is so that the suspension resumes the normal setting.

NOTE:

Check that none of the turntables is approaching its limit position.
