left-handed thread counter nuts 1and right-handed counter nuts 3.
To complete adjustment, tighten counter nuts (see Annex 2).
After every 15,000 km of total kilometres, carry out a wheels
swap for even tyre wear. Follow the same side rule: swap the front

swapping the wheels, ensure they are balanced.
