General information
1. Steering installation and suspension geometry are defined by four reference angles. All angles are expressed in degrees. The axis of rotation of the wheel is defined as an imaginary line passing through the axis of the suspension strut and, if necessary, extended to contact with the roadway.
2. Camber is the angle between each wheel and a vertical line drawn through its center and tire-to-road contact area as viewed from the front or rear of the vehicle. Positive camber - when the top of the wheel is tilted from the vertical outward; negative camber - when the top of the wheel is tilted inward. The collapse is not adjustable.
3. Pitch is the angle between the wheel axis and a vertical line drawn through the center of the wheel and the tire-road contact zone, as viewed from the side of the vehicle. The inclination is considered positive when the axis of rotation of the wheel is inclined so that its imaginary extension crosses the roadbed in front of the vertical; and negative when the intersection occurs behind the vertical. This angle is not adjustable.
4. Toe-in is a parameter that determines the difference in distance between the front and rear inner edges of the wheels, when viewed from above. If the distance to the front is less than the distance to the rear, the wheels are considered to have «positive convergence» (or simply «convergence»). If the distance to the front is greater than the distance to the rear, the wheels are considered to have «negative convergence» (or simply «discrepancy»).
5. Toe-in of the front wheels is adjusted by changing the effective length of the steering rods by screwing the rods into the tips or, conversely, unscrewing them.
6. The convergence of the rear wheels is not adjustable.
Check and adjustment
7. Due to the fact that special equipment is required to check the wheel alignment and its correct use requires the appropriate qualifications, it is recommended that these parameters be checked and adjusted by a Peugeot/Citroen dealer or another specialist. Keep in mind that similar equipment is now available at many service stations.
