Alignment Settings for Autosleeper

Post by bmouthboyo »

Hi Everyone,

I have just replaced a lot of front and rear Suspension / Drivetrain  components:
  • Rear Training Arm Bushes (Powerflex)
  • Rear Dampeners (Bilstein B4)
  • Rear CV Joints
  • Rear Gearbox Shaft Seals
  • Rear Wheel Bearings
  • Front Upper Wishbone Bushes (Powerflex)
  • Track Arm Bushes (Powerflex)
  • Front Dampener (Bilstein B4)
Although I tried to keep the positions roughly as they were they will be well out, but hopefully OK to get the 4 miles to alignment centre!

I found the settings below on the wiki but not sure what to go with for my Autosleeper Trident + Underslung LPG, 240 AH battery, Gti Conversion etc.

I don't know the weight but assume around the half load settings? Or am I misunderstanding this (half load being that it will be unloaded at some point?).

Thanks

The german manual says to use half load and full load when there is equipment permanently built in.
Usually the maintetance vehicles with a lot of metal shelvings, tools etc.
Otherwise use the empty values.
So if the conversion furniture is heavy then you can use those loaded values. For caltulations best to have the van weighted or if you have the empty weight updated by the conversion company then you can use that weight in the papers.
