When clamping the body-building part, the twist can
be corrected by applying a twist to the chassis in the
opposite direction.
• Place chocks firmly beneath the front wheels.
• In the case of (Tw < –10), place the left rear
wheel on a plate of thickness t corresponding to
the amount of twist. In the case of (Tw > 10),
place the right rear wheel on the plate.
Amount of lift-up of the wheel on one side for
correcting twist
Unit: mm
(Lift-up on one side is also permissible.)
• After clamping the body-building part, first slacken
all of the clamping bolts. (Take care to ensure that
it is safe.)
• Lift the tire onto the plate, and then once again
tighten the clamping bolts.
• Lower the tire from the plate, and confirm that
there is no looseness in the clamped part or any
other part.
Tilt correction ( and : | ΔHf | > 10 mm, or | ΔHr |
> 10 mm)
With the body-building part clamped to the vehicle,
insert a spacer between the axle spring washer and
the spring.
By inserting a spacer at either the front wheel or the
rear wheel, both the front and rear of the vehicle will
be corrected. First, insert a spacer at the rear wheel,
and only if correction is insufficient insert a spacer at
the front wheel as well.
• Place chocks beneath the front wheels, then jack
up the rear axle in order to firmly support the frame
or the body-building part.
• Note that the spacer insertion position for an over-
slung vehicle (spring is above the axle) is different
from that for an under-slung vehicle (spring is
beneath the axle).

i Additional information
In the case of a vehicle whose initial position is
close to one of the markings on the illustration
"Body posture and applicable correction method"
(É 4.6.2) (body both cambered and twisted), the
position will sometimes become or after
multiple applications of this correction method. In
this case, continue with tilt correction.
