9.2. WHEEL ALIGNMENT

Before adjusting the wheel alignment, it is of the utmost importance that the car height has been adjusted perfectly, so always do that first! Also make sure the tires are at the right pressure and drive/push the car forwards to its position. If this is not feasible, at least make sure the car is pushed forwards in the last meters with the wheels straight.

This is very important since several spaces in the steering system can cause quite big differences between driving forwards and backwards. As you will use your car especially for driving forwards, it is better to do the adjustments in this position.

A correct adjustment of the front wheels is not only important for good control and road-holding, but it also determines the wear and tear of tires to a high degree.

The chassis of the 2CV is built for a difference of 0-3 mm. This means that on the front side, the front wheels are 0 to 3 mm further away from each other than on the back side of the front wheels.
