Front wheel alignment
The angles of the front wheels are checked on the car in running order with normal tire pressure, in the absence of excessive play in the nodes and parts of the steering and front suspension.
Front wheel hubs
The front wheel hub is mounted on a double-row angular contact ball bearing.
Since January 1988, the wheel hubs of manual transmission vehicles have been provided with collars for mounting bearings.
When installing, orient the bearing with the larger inner diameter toward the circlip. The contact surface of the bearing in the steering knuckle must be free of grease.
The front wheel hubs of the new and old designs are not interchangeable.
