Preparatory Work
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2011 Volvo V50, 2010 Volvo V50, 2009 Volvo V50, 2008 Volvo V50, and 2007 Volvo V50. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
When checking and adjusting wheel angles, follow the preparation instructions carefully.
Since the car's rear wheels also have an adjustable toe angle, the toe angle of the front wheels must also be adjusted in relation to the geometrical driving axis (thrust line) in order to maximize stability and minimize tire wear.
All measurements must be made using alignment equipment for four-wheel drive vehicles.
All measurements must be made with the car empty.
All measurements must be made with a full fuel tank.
Check all the tire pressures before beginning measurement.
