Checking the front wheel alignment angles (Renault Symbol 1)

Checking the front wheel alignment angles is a precise and complex operation, which is practically impossible for a car owner to perform independently. In car centers, complex optical stands are used for checking and adjusting, which are capable of performing this work with great accuracy.

Wheel alignment angles that differ from those recommended by Renault result in poor handling, vehicle stability and increased wear on the wheel tread.

It is recommended to check and adjust the front wheel alignment angles regularly, and after working on the suspension or steering.

For reference, Table 6.1 shows the control values for the front wheel alignment angles depending on the ground clearance.
