1997 RENAULT KANGOO wheel

REAR AXLE
Four bar rear axle
- the first anti-roll bar, ensuring the angle of
the block is observed, and the bar is inserted
freely.

- the second anti-roll bar, ensuring it engages
freely.
In order to position the suspension arm so that the
bar may be correctly positioned, a tool must be lo-
cally made.

Preset the tool to obtain dimension "X".
X = 430 mm
Fit the tool in place of the shock absorber.
Refit:
- the bar plugs,
- the shock absorbers,
- the wheels.
Put the vehicle on its wheels and measure the un-
derbody heights ( see section "values and set-
tings" ).

Check and if necessary adjust:
- the braking compensator,
- the headlights.
REMINDER
When adjusting for a wheel height difference
between the right and left hand sides, always
make the adjustment on the anti-roll bars.
The adjustment for a difference in dimension " X"
between the right and left hand sides should
always be made on the suspension bars.

WHEEL RIMS
There are two forms of wheel identification marking:
- engraved markings for steel rims,
- cast marking for alloy rims.
The marking gives the main dimensional specifications of the wheel.
The marking may be complete:
Example : 5 1/2 J 14 4 CH 36
or simplified
Example : 5 1/2 J 14
35
The four wheel bolts are over a diameter of 100
mm (4 mounting bolts).
Maximum run-out: 1.2 mm measured on the rim
edge (at G).
Maximum eccentricity: 0.8 mm measured on the
pressure face of the tyre beads.

WHEELS AND TYRES
Specifications
The tyre inflation pressures are values for a fully laden vehicle or motorway use.
The tyre inflation pressure must be checked when cold. The increase in temperature during driving increases
the pressure by 0.2 to 0.3 bar.
If the inflation pressures are checked when the tyres are warm, take this pressure increase into consideration.
Never deflate a warm tyre.
(1) Reinforced tyre.
Chains
For safety reasons, chains may NEVER be fitted to the rear axle.
"Snow" or "thermorubber" tyres: all four wheels must be fitted with these tyres to retain vehicle adhesion as
far as possible.

STEERING ASSEMBLY
Axial ball joint
36
Put the vehicle on a two post lift.
REMOVAL
Disconnect the track rod end using tool T.Av. 476.
Slacken the bolt on the parallelism adjustment
sleeve and slacken the track rod end while
holding the axial ball joint using an open wrench.
Make a mark or count the number of turns of
thread taken up so the parallelism can be pre-
adjusted on refitting.
Remove the plastic retaining clip for the gaiter
and remove the gaiter.

STEERING ASSEMBLY
Manual steering rack
36
Put the vehicle on a two post lift.
REMOVAL
Remove the front wheels.
Cut the rubber gaiter retaining clip and push the
gaiter back towards the bulkhead.
Disconnect the ball joints using tool T.Av. 476.
Remove:
- the universal joint eccentric bolt,
- the steering rack mounting bolts on the sub-
frame.
Remove the steering rack.

T.Av. 476 Ball joint extractor
TIGHTENING TORQUES (in daN.m)REFITTING
Refitting is the reverse of removal. Observe the
recommended tightening torques.
If a new steering rack is being fitted, fit the track
rod ends in the position noted on removal.
To do this, slacken the bolt on the parallelism
adjustment sleeve and slacken the track rod end
while holding the axial ball joint using an open
wrench.
Make a mark or count the number of turns of
thread taken up so the parallelism can be pre-
adjusted on refitting.
Check the parallelism.
NOTE : the markings on the track rod ends MUST
BE OBSERVED
(one mark on right hand joint, two
marks on left hand joint).
