d) Setting the Alignment
This alignment designates the position of the wheel level to the driving direction.
During the drive the tyres are pushed apart in the front because of the rolling friction and this is why they are no longer precisely parallel to the driving direction.
To balance this, the tyres of the stationary vehicle can be adjusted in a way so that they point slightly towards the inside. This toe-in improves the lateral
cornering of the tire and thus a more direct response to the steering.
If a milder response to steering is desired, this can be achieved accordingly by adjusting a toe-out, i.e. the wheels of the stationary vehicle point outward. A trail
angle of 0° on the front axis ensures the best driveability on almost any ground.
A trail angle of more than 3° toe-in or toe-out leads to handling problems and reduces the speed.
For a rough setting of the alignment, you can screw the outer track rods
on the steering plate onto two additional attachment spots. This also
changes the Ackermann angle. Clamping screws (1) for separate wheel
alignment of the front wheels are located in the right and left steering link
between the steering lever and the steering plate.
The toe-in of the front wheel must not exceed 4°!

Toe-in (a):
Turning the clamping screws (1) towards the front lengthens the outer steering link; the wheel is pulled

outwards via the steering knuckle arm on the back. This setting leads to faster wear on the inside of the
tyres.
Toe-out (b):
Turning the clamping screws (1) towards the back shortens the outer steering link, the wheel is pulled
inwards via the steering knuckle arm on the back. This setting leads to faster wear on the outside of the
tyres.
