PRELIMINARY CHECKING
Due to the geometr ic conception of the front axle, the modificati on of one of one-
si de angles (castor, camber, ball joint) has no major impact on the value of other side
angles (the parallelism being the one directly influenced). The m odification of t hese a ngles doe s not oc cur duri ng vehicle exploitation, but onl y as
a consequence of a vehicle accident.
It is import ant to observe the following sequence : - placing the vehicle on rotating plates;
- braked vehicle
- suspension checking for pl acing the vehicle at its free height;
- establishing the steering centra l point and steeri ng box blocking.
- attachment of the optical devices on the vehicle, observing the manufacturer
instructions.
REPARTITION CHECKING AND ADJUSTMENT
Check the “ X” dimension symmetry of
the connecting rods.
Reading of t he “ A” value on the scale.

CA RRIAGE BODY CHECKING / STRAIGHTENING
BENCH CELETTE TYPE
3.TRACTION ACCESSORIES SET ( CAR 504)
CELETTE bench is equipped with a traction accessories set CAR 504, which a llows
the operator to achieve different a nchoring when a body strengthening is performed (pi ct. 5).
4. SET OF MZ TOWERS AND SPECIFIC SUPPORTS ( CAR 503 +CAR 507)
This kit re presents a MZ system and consists of two elements: - kit of 22 MZ towers, universal CAR 503 – ( see pict.6 )
- kit of specific supports CAR 507
( pict. 6 ) ( pict.
5)
Each MZ tower has an a rrow, which settles
its ori entation on th e cross bar a nd a MZ
reference (pict.7) Example – MZ 080, where:
MZ- measurem ent on OZ axle of the
vehicle.
080 – MZ tower height (in mm)
In the same way as for COMPACT
assembly, the arrow (1) marked on the specific
support must be oriented towards the bench
front part, as follows: - attachment on the right part of the
mobile bench
- attachment on the left part of the
mobile bench
NOTE
The MZ towers may be used also for the checking/ straightening of the c arriage
bodies of other vehicles types, being then necessary the purchasing of the specific supports
for each type of v ehicle.
