The factory manuals list the front toe as being set "pressed with 15 kp". I'm trying to fully understand this and thought I'd run my logic past all of you to see if you think i'm right.
kp stands for kiloponds, which is the gravitational force on 1 kilogrom. So 15 kp would be the gravitational force on 15 kilograms. The 'english' equivalent would be pound-force and 15kp converts to 33.069 pound-force. So this would mean that the alignment should be done 'pressed with 33 pound-force', which would mean to me, with 33 lb in the trunk. Or put more simply, the alignment should be done with the spare tire in the trunk. Agree? Disagree? |
