Dear DS friends, in this film, made by the DS-Technical Team club

I will explain how simple the toe-in of your DS can be adjusted.

Now I will show you, together with an aide, .

how to apply the special tool, to adjust the track

Now you can see the purpose of the screws

The heads of the screws should touch the inside rim of the wheel

Now you also see the reason for 38,5 cm between the screws

The heads of both bolts fit exactly between the diameter of the wheel

and see that the pole is in a straight position.

Now I will ask my assistant Kees to put a mark on the floor

accurately indicating the screw on the top of the pole

We will do the same again with the pole pointing backwards

Kees will you please go to the other side?

In the same way we hold the pole in position

Now we repeat the operation at the other side of the car

Here we do it do it again to start with the front

Yes it all right now, please Kees, put a mark

indicating the position of the front wheels

Once more, we used a pole with a length of 220 centimetre,

Kees, now we are starting the measurement

Will you please put the end of the tapeline on the hart of the mark

Please put the end on the hart of the mark

the difference is 2 cm, divided by 10 gives us the toe-in

the toe-in of a DS should be between the 2 and the 4 mm

this could have disturbed our measurements

We put a mark at the present position of a wheel

Then we shift the car for half a revolution

Kees will you tell me when the mark is at the top?

Now we have transferred the car by one half revolution of a wheel.

This indicates a considerable swing in the wheels

so the average of these two measurements show an incorrect track

so, now we have to increase the toe-in by 2 mm

the front wheels should be pointing more inwards

Now we have to explain what we should adjust

At this side of the car we see the tierod

the adjusting collar can be rotated on order to change the track

So I have to rotate in such a way that the toe-in increases

The collar has a right hand thread at one side

So turning in one direction gives more length
