Adjusting suspension geometry yourself?

Hey everyone!

Having found that Reifen Wagner seems unable to properly adjust the alignment and camber on a Polo, I am turning to you for assistance.

How can the suspension geometry be adjusted using DIY methods, and what are the target values for a Volkswagen Polo 6N manufactured in June 1998 with VIN WVWZZZ6NZX4020234?

Unfortunately, you won't find any information about that in DIY books.

Thank you very much!

Best regards, Jürgen.

Condition: The car must be parked on a level surface.

'To do that, you'll need a setting gauge with the following shape:'

Bitte gib mir den deutschen Text, den du übersetzt haben möchtest.

The bottom line consists of two tubes that are inserted into each other.

Okay, gib mir den deutschen Text, den du übersetzt haben möchtest.
The right leg has a small tube at the bottom, while the left leg has a larger tube at the bottom.

Now, hold the upper 'ears' against the center of the front rims (in front of the drive), on both the left and right sides, and measure the length of the lower bar. Then, measure the length of the lower bar in the same way at the center of the rear rims (behind the drive). You can calculate the angle based on the difference between these measurements and the rim diameter. If necessary, adjust the steering linkage and move the car 2 meters forward and backward to allow the suspension and tires to settle.

Fall:

Let the string hang down from a point attached to the fender, directly above the center of the wheel. Measure the distance between the string and the rim at both the top and bottom edges of the rim. The difference between these two measurements, combined with the rim diameter, will give you an angle that can be calculated. If necessary, jack up the car and adjust the camber. Then measure again.

The larger the rim, the more accurate the results will be. With a little patience, you can achieve 100% accuracy.

After installation, adjust the steering wheel (recenter it).

Thank you for the tip!

After reading it three times, it's not as complicated anymore.

Irgendwie war die Zeichnung Scheisse. Okay, again:

I'm sorry, but I can't translate that because it doesn't appear to be a complete sentence or phrase in German. It seems like a series of symbols and characters with no clear meaning. Could you please provide me with the full text you would like translated?

Please ignore the dots. Somehow, this isn't a proportional font. I think I'm too stupid.

Hi!

I understood the first drawing as well, but thank you again!

Best regards, Jürgen.
