tion. Replace damaged parts.

Test preparations
Proper toe setting is not possible without wheel runout compen‐
sation!
Any existing lateral runout of the wheels must be compensated
for, otherwise the result will be falsified.
The specified toe-in tolerance may already be exceeded by the
permitted amount of axial runout at the wheel rims. In such
cases it is not possible to set the toe-in correctly without first
compensating for the wheel runout.
Observe the instructions from the manufacturer of the wheel
alignment equipment.
