I have heard more than once that the collapse of the convergence with my own hands, this is an impossible task. Of course it’s not. This operation can be performed by anyone. All that is needed for this is only an even platform, a simple tool called a ruler and your hands. I’ll tell you about everything else now.
Before you start adjusting the corners of the collapse and convergence, you should definitely diagnose and, if necessary, repair the entire suspension of your car. This measure is necessary to eliminate all the backlash. Otherwise, all work on adjusting the divorce will be meaningless. And if the car has visited the accident, then plus everything, you also need to measure the distance between the front and rear axle (you never know what, and suddenly the bones did not work). This is done very simply and takes a lot of time, just measure the distance between the front center of the wheel (protective hub cap) and rear. The distance between the right and left side of the car should not differ by more than 3 cm. If everything is in order, then let’s get.
Collapse.
Put the cars
U on an even platform, while the steering wheel is in the position directly (the number of rulings of the steering wheel to the right and to the left coincides) and, for convenience, put the tags on the upper and lower part of the wheel. Now we will build a plumb line. We’ll tie the load on the lace, all the plumb line is ready. Next, we determine the angle of inclination of the wheel. To do this, measure the distance between the shurk and the upper label, and then the lace and the lower label. The difference in these distances should be 3mm. Repeat the operation on the other side of the car.
But no one said that discs and tires are perfect. So we will check the wheels 90 degrees, and repeat our actions.
Adjustment of the corner of the collapse, on most cars, is carried out by turning the adjusting bolts on the bracket of the rack (shock absorber). So adjust, tighten the nut and check.
Convergence.
To adjust the angle of convergence of the wheels, the steering wheel should also be in the position directly. Here we need a line to adjust the convergence.
The angle of convergence, in other words, is the difference between the distances between the front wheels in front and behind the wheel. We measure this distance and determine the difference. The value of 1 mm is considered normal. Measurements should be made closer to the disk in the horizontal plane.
To adjust the angle of convergence, we rotate the adjusting bolts on steering rods.
So we learned to regulate the collapse of the convergence with our own hands, made sure that everything was simple.
Now we will share the article with others so that others are not afraid of this.
