Wheel alignment parameters Lada Vesta St. Cross

Hello all subscribers! We complete the epic with the installation of hefty wide wheels. Some people already wrote to me in a previous post that they say it’s too much with the crash and all that. It depends on what you mean by overkill! I repeat - there are different directions in tuning, and in particular those in which it is necessary to modify the car to fit the wheels (if it does not correspond to them), and not vice versa. If you just want to install wheels and just drive, go to the store and car market for advice from the seller, or even better, go to the car dealership for standard wheels, they meet factory specifications, so install them for yourself. I have long wanted disks with “shelves”, because it is not at all easy to fix such disks, and often it is necessary to get rid of compromises, of which there are a great many. This is a deliberate step that I took for the sake of beauty and style. Let me remind you that stans, wide rims, welding, extensions ala liberty walk, RWB, TRA Kyoto, and so on are now in fashion. For what? Such discs stand out from the stream - the shelf shines and sparkles, the car slowly rolls, these are traditions that came from motorsport, the history of which I naturally will not retell here. You can study the history of the creation of the TRA Kyoto company and read what such abuse of cars led to. for those who don’t want to read, I can say (spoiler) - to world leadership in the production of expansion kits and body kits for Japanese cars. the famous Rocket Bunny is his brainchild.

And so we figured out the motivation, we moved on - the wheels are wide, the task was not to wonder why they were so wide and whether I had gone too far with the offset, the task was to set and make a compromise so that the wheels would not eat (I still have loans, this is how I will pay — I’ll drop it by 3+ degrees). in general, even without camber, if you lower the car onto the rims, then the arch lies straight between the rim and the tires, and this is pure stens, but for this my balls are not so strong yet, I need pneuma and all that.

Two posts ago I asked you if there was a demolisher who could do this for me. Information about camber angles and how to make it was shared with me by the well-known Seryoga seliter and his friend Varuzhan, who installed a Vossen with the same parameters but a 5 mm smaller offset. Thank you guys very much! Subscriber Zedrayn responded to me in a personal message, who advised me of a wrecker in the city of Kolpino, I contacted him first on VK, here is a link to him vk.com/id14699989 and his group vk.com/kolpinoupgrade Don’t be surprised that there are so few subscribers, all of him clients are mostly Over 35+ and mostly contact him not via the Internet but by phone.

Imagine my surprise that the person turned out to be extremely literate and “hard-boiled”, he knows not only what needs to be set to “Zeros”, but completely delves into the physics of the car’s movement, and the forces acting on the wheels in motion, knows the whole theory inside and out , tunes expensive foreign cars that cannot be done at the dealer (because the dealer has crooked hands), racing and sports cars. He didn’t just send me to the machine and do it, he completely explained to me what was being done and why, and what it affects, and didn’t let me go until everything was done “as it should.” This is great.

About wheel sizes for Lada Vesta

Reading time: 8 minutes
Over the last decade, the domestic automobile industry has begun to improve dramatically, and today most of the models of the AvtoVAZ concern are no longer similar to the modifications that have filled the roads of Russia for decades.
This rapid development was facilitated by fierce competition from many foreign brands, which began to produce compact city cars at a price not much different from Russian brands. One of the most successful models on the domestic market, which appeared in 2015, is the Lada Vesta, designed to replace the already very outdated Priora modification. Of course, today you can easily find auto parts for most Lada models in retail outlets across the country, including wheels and tires.

Adjusting the camber angle

This procedure is relatively simple and can be done at home. To do this, you will need a special driver's tool, a cord with a plumb line, chalk and a flat area to place your car.

This process is carried out in several stages:

We place the car on a level area and align the front wheels level, and then, using chalk, make marks on them from the outside from the bottom and top.
At this stage, we set the plumb line in the same plane with the marks, placing it near the wing. After this, we measure the distances from the cord to each mark. In this case, you should measure not to the tire itself, but to the disk at the farthest edge - the rim. It should be clarified that the data should not differ by more than 3 mm.
After this, after rolling the car, turning the wheels first 90 and then 180 degrees, we carry out a similar procedure.
At this stage, we remove the tire and also dismantle the bolts that secure the steering knuckle and the shock absorber strut bracket. The adjustment is made by moving the steering knuckle in a certain direction.

Equipment used

Wheel alignment is a procedure that is performed in car repair shops using specialized equipment. Of course, you can do all the operations in your garage using available materials. But where is the guarantee that you will do everything correctly?

Adjusting the wheel angles with your own hands is done using a plumb line and a tape measure. But it is better to use modern equipment for this. Moreover, this procedure costs a penny.

Optical stand. This is one of the first types of such equipment that was used to adjust wheel angles. Today, it is giving way to more modern technology. But some services successfully use optical stands today. Although they are already considered archaic.
Laser equipment. The most popular type of wheel alignment equipment today. Unlike optical stands, laser ones are more accurate and easier to use. The data is transmitted to the monitor, where the operator can work with it in real time. There is a special program that shows deviations from the required parameters.
Computer systems. Modern equipment. Wireless sensors are installed on the wheels, which transmit parameters to the computer. Where they are compared with optimal performance. The operator only needs to carry out small manipulations to align the wheels. The process takes only a few minutes. The result after visiting such complexes will definitely please you.
3D stands. The most modern equipment at the moment for adjusting wheel alignment. The car is driven onto a stand with wheel linings. It rolls over them. To read data, cameras are used that transmit numbers to special computing equipment. After comparison with the nominal parameters, the wheels are adjusted.

Expert advice

When choosing tires for a car, you must first follow the manufacturer's instructions. Ask yourself a few questions.

On what roads will the car be primarily used?
Do you need increased cross-country ability?
How much of the route will be city roads and how much will be highways?
Will the vehicle carry heavy loads?

The answers to these and similar questions will help determine which tire parameters you need to pay special attention to.

How to choose the right wheels for the Lada Vesta SV Cross 2021?

3 types of rims:

Stamped (economical price category) - made from a sheet of iron by stamping on a press.
Light alloy - manufactured by casting (more reliable than stamped ones).
Forged (the highest quality and more expensive than the previous ones) - made from light alloys by stamping at high temperatures.

The choice depends on financial capabilities. However, it should be borne in mind that the quality of the road surface on which you have to drive every day must also be taken into account.

So, if it gets into a hole, a stamped disk will bend and will not cause harm to the tire, but a forged or cast one can cut it. There is a possibility that the cast disc may burst or crack.

It should also be noted that repairing “stamping” wheels is cheaper than repairing cast or forged wheels. But wheels with high-quality cast and forged disks kill the suspension less, because lighter and have more perfect geometry (better balanced).

The same wheels may or may not rub with tires on the same car - wheel alignment adjustment will help here.

What is the tire pressure?

It is the driver's responsibility to constantly monitor tire pressure. This will avoid standard problems associated with vehicle operation. An abnormal pressure value often causes:

deterioration of management;
uneven tread wear.

Often the car owner independently reduces the pressure in the wheels of his own vehicle. This reduces the load on the suspension, and the car “passes” various road irregularities an order of magnitude easier. But it is worth noting: a decrease in pressure even by 0.1 MPa leads to serious problems. The main ones include:

increased fuel consumption;
rapid wear of the outer tread segments;
the car becomes less maneuverable.

An overinflated wheel causes no less problems. The central part of the cylinder begins to wear off quickly. In addition, at ambient temperatures of more than 60 degrees Celsius, the tire may simply explode. Which will lead to driving into the oncoming lane.

Attention! Our catalog is an information resource and does not guarantee full compliance of the proposed dimensions with your car. Make sure that your car has wheels of the appropriate radius.

Benefits of proper wheel alignment

With proper regulation of this parameter, you can achieve maximum directional stability of the car. The car will behave straightforwardly and predictably. Such a car increases maneuverability, reduces the risk of skidding and the occurrence of emergency situations while driving. A correctly adjusted wheel alignment parameter even guarantees a reduction in fuel consumption.

If the corners are not set, then such a car can lead to disastrous consequences. This is especially dangerous when driving on slippery roads. The driver will have to constantly adjust the trajectory, steer and be on edge. Such a car poses a serious risk not only to the driver and passengers, but also to other road users.

First maintenance of Lada Vesta

What kind of work does the first maintenance for the Lada Vesta sedan consist of? This includes replacing the oil, air and cabin filters, changing the engine oil, checking the condition of the brake pads, as well as diagnosing the engine control unit using a special scanner. At the official service station of the Lada brand in Kazakhstan, German synthetic oil Rowe 5W40 was poured into the Lada Vesta of automotive journalists. It was chosen because it is officially supplied to the car showrooms of this dealer network in Kazakhstan. The Lada Vesta engine control unit was checked for errors using a special scanner, which had an interface similar to the Windows 8 operating system. This equipment is certified for the Lada Vesta model car. According to specialists from the official Lada service station in Kazakhstan, this device costs about 300,000 rubles. Fortunately, this device did not show errors in the Lada Vesta engine control unit.

This is what the error scanner looks like for the Lada Vesta engine control unit.

When lifting the Lada Vesta car onto a lift, it was immediately discovered that the winter tires of the Nokian Nordman 5 model had lost quite a lot of studs in the conditions of winter Russian roads.

What it is?

Wheel alignment is a characteristic that determines the position of the wheel axle. Toe is the angle between the car wheel and the tie rod. If the wheels are aligned relative to each other, then the angle is positive. A negative angle is achieved due to different directions of the wheels. These parameters are set using special equipment that can calculate them down to tenths of a millimeter.

Camber is the angle that is taken into account between the position of the vehicle wheel and the road surface. When the wheel indicator is positive, its upper part is tilted away from the body; when it is negative, towards the body.

If the wheels are not aligned correctly, the car may go off track, and the tread will wear out on only one side.

What does wheel alignment affect? If you are an experienced motorist, then you have long known the answer to this question. If this parameter is not adjusted as required, you will very soon feel it when driving your car.

The correct wheel angle allows you to feel the road better and react faster to dangerous situations. Violation of such an exhibition will lead to emergency situations on the road. Right up to the most dangerous consequences.

When driving, you need to relax and enjoy the road. Constant tension due to the vehicle leaving the path has a negative impact on the driver’s physical condition.

Lada Vesta Cross - ground clearance

Industrial progress has reached Russian production; AvtoVAZ never ceases to amaze with the uniqueness of the cars it produces, year after year creating more modern and more reliable cars. The new Lada Vesta Cross station wagon is one of the most interesting and original models of the domestic automobile industry. Even before it left the assembly line, AVTOVAZ’s flagship model SW Cross attracted attention with its appearance and design features and technical characteristics. In 2021, the assembly of the long-awaited Russian station wagon began and immediately aroused even greater interest and resonance.

What is the ground clearance of the Lada Vesta St. Cross?

The clearance of Vesta Cross is truly outstanding, it is 203 mm.

Other car sizes:

The ground clearance allows it to compete with almost all modern crossovers of various brands and modifications.

Ground clearance comparison with competitors

The main competitors of Vesta SW Cross are objectively considered to be Lada Largus, KIA Rio X-Line, as well as the initial versions of Renault DUSTER and Hyundai Creta with front-wheel drive. However, the Lada Vesta Cross is not the last among them in terms of ground clearance. So for Largus the ground clearance is 145 mm, for Rio X-Line it is 170 mm, for Renault DUSTER it is 210 mm, and for Hyundai Creta this value is 190 mm. Thus, we can conclude that only the Renault DUSTER SUV can compete in terms of ground clearance, but we should not forget that the design features of the Lada Vesta Cross and the foresight of domestic developers did not easily make it possible to yield to a competitor in this area.

What is the Vesta Cross capable of off-road?

The Lada Vesta Cross feels confident both on a flat road and on a country road or even off-road. If you like to have an active holiday while driving a car on minor off-road conditions, the AVTOVAZ flagship is ideal for you. “SW Cross” is equipped with such off-road attributes as a protective plastic body kit and increased ground clearance. A protective black plastic body kit reliably protects the paintwork from chips and scratches, and the increased clearance allows you to confidently overcome obstacles on rough terrain.

Rack width

The next step is to determine the distance between your feet. As a rule, the width of the stance should be slightly wider than the shoulders. Adjustments are made depending on riding style and individual comfort.

Freestylers often ride with a wider stance to maintain balance during landings.

Freeriders use a narrower stance as it makes turning and riding on slopes easier. Also, freeriders don't need to shift their body weight across the board as often, so they don't need extra stability along the snowboard.

There are several unwritten rules for determining the width of a rack:

She = distance between shoulders + 2 cm;

Stand width = distance from elbow to fingertips;

Stand width = distance from the ground to the middle of the knee;

By installing the bindings too wide, it will be easier to maintain balance, but the load on the knees will be too great, your legs will get tired quickly, and control of the board will become more difficult.
If you install the fastenings too narrowly, it will be difficult to maintain your balance; when tilting, your knees will be brought together too narrowly, and the tail part of the board will come off the surface of the slope.

Identifying the cause of knocking from the front suspension of Lada Vesta

After 15,000 kilometers, a knock began in the front suspension of the Lada Vesta. Mechanics from an official service station in Kazakhstan were able to identify the cause of this knocking noise. It turned out that the right ball joint was loose. This case of breakdown is covered by warranty. However, the ball joint does not change separately; all the suspension arms that are supplied with the ball joint are replaced with it. It is worth noting that in almost the majority of new car models in the world with a McPherson front suspension, the ball joint is assembled with all the levers. Fortunately, a copy of the right ball joint was found in the warehouse of the official service station. It turns out that this spare part is required so that the dealer can service Lada Vesta cars.

When replacing the right ball joint of the front suspension of a Lada Vesta, it turned out that for this task it was necessary to remove the right side member of the subframe. This is necessary to remove the bolt securing the front silent block of the lever. Then, when installing a new ball joint, the front silent block of the lever did not want to be installed in its place. The problem was solved by unscrewing the hub nut and disconnecting the axle shaft. After this, the shock absorber strut was released, which made it possible to move the lever into its mounting location. Later it turned out that instructions for replacing the ball joint of the front suspension are given in the general operating instructions for the Lada Vesta from AvtoVAZ. It’s just that for the servicemen of the Kazakh Lada service station, the Lada Vesta sedan was the first in which the first maintenance was carried out and the ball joint was replaced.

At 15,000 km, Lada Vesta undergoes wheel alignment.

Front wheel alignment

If the amount of toe differs from the norm, then it is necessary to loosen the tie rods of the side links and use the key 67.7813.9504 to turn both couplings by the same amount in opposite directions; Thus, the couplings are screwed in or out and change the length of the side rods.

After making the adjustment, install the tie clamps with the slot backwards, with a permissible deviation downwards of 60° to the horizontal plane of the car.

When the nuts are tightened, the edges of the slots in the tie clamps should not touch.

After adjusting the wheel toe, check to see if the wheels and steering gear parts are touching adjacent parts of the suspension and body.

To do this, turn the wheels completely in both directions until the bipod rests on the steering gear housing mounting bolts.

We taxi and take a closer look

One of the main strengths of the Lada Vesta is its good handling.

A pleasant, not at all empty, but, on the contrary, responsive steering wheel paired with “mechanics” and a more powerful engine overall create a decent impression.

In the case of the “station wagon,” these sensations remained unchanged. Here's a version with a less powerful, 106-horsepower engine, which will obviously be much more boring. And you certainly shouldn’t expect miracles from a robotic gearbox - having driven around the metropolis first with it and then with a manual gearbox, I definitely realized that a manual gearbox is better for me. Although the drivers I met and interviewed in detail, in response to my questions, chuckled, waved their hands and said that “they are fine.”

The five-speed gearbox has always seemed to me to be very successful - it shifts clearly, you don’t have to stick the “knob” for a long time to find the desired speed, the gears are long - the engine does not stall, even if it gets lazy.

But after about a month, I began to notice that the reverse gear does not always stick in - when the rear view camera has already turned on and the music has died down, the car refuses to drive, and then the lever needs to be pushed with some effort.

After a couple of months, for an inexplicable reason, sometimes the first gear began to “get lost,” although I was already completely accustomed to the car. But this did not always occur, as, by the way, did the squeaking of the brakes, which began after severe frosts, despite the fact that the car at the time of the test drive had a minimum mileage of less than 1 thousand km.

Identifying the cause of knocking from the front suspension of Lada Vesta

At 15,000 km, Lada Vesta undergoes wheel alignment.

Rear suspension device

But in real conditions, the rear suspension should perform the function of steering and reduce roll when cornering. The independent multi-link suspension copes well with such tasks. But it has its “innate” disadvantages. Having weighed all the pros and cons, AvtoVAZ designers gave preference to a beam that was inexpensive in terms of cost and maintenance.

The beam is formed by a rigid connection of two longitudinal and one transverse lever. Many sources make no mention of levers, since a single structure - a beam - has long been in the vocabulary of car enthusiasts.
The shock absorbers and springs are separated, that is, they are not aligned. Some experts see this as an increase in the number of support points. As a result, the vehicle's stability increases. Others consider this decision to be a foundation for the future, because it is planned to release an all-wheel drive version of the Lada Vesta SW Cross.
The drums and hubs were inherited from their predecessors. Disc brakes, of course, are much more efficient, but since the Cross version is designed for outdoor activities, dirt may get on the brake mechanism. The drum system is less demanding in this regard. There is another expert opinion, which is that the manufacturer decided to save on some components so that the cost of the new product does not reach prohibitive values.

Externally, the rear suspension design has much in common with the already classic version. And, nevertheless, West station wagons are equipped with higher springs.

Rear suspension beam. The diagram does not show that the stabilizers are built inside the beam, since it has a U-shaped cross-section. Such stabilizers began to be installed on Priors, which favorably distinguished the new beam from the “eight” one.

The barrel-shaped spring rests its upper part against the spar.
Top insert.
The shock absorber support is mounted inside the arch.

Suspension life and reliability

It is too early to talk about the reliability of the new suspension. How to analyze the situation with sedans. The manufacturer promises trouble-free operation for five years, which equates to 100,000 km. The most adequate results are shown by tests carried out on the initiative of leading car clubs. The bottom line is the intensive (sometimes even merciless) use of the car at testing sites.

The picture turned out to be not so optimistic. Already at 25,000 km the shock absorbers began to leak. It is noteworthy that Reno’s sores were passed on to Vesta, as if by inheritance. The silent blocks of the rear beam can be considered a consumable material that will have to be replaced after a quarter of the declared resource. We can only hope that over time it will be possible to purchase components from HUTCHINSON or Lemförder.

Reviews

№	Positive
1.	Dmitry Vasilyevich , 43 years old (otzovik.com): the suspension is mounted on a subframe, a new form of levers, steering knuckles. Road obstacles are overcome without impact.
2.	Arkady Semenovich , 39 years old (www.zr.ru): there are no complaints about the suspension at speeds up to 120 – 130 km/h, it works quickly and softly. At higher modes, there is a decrease in control efficiency, the car rolls when entering turns.
3.	Kirill , 22 years old (autobann.su): control is sharp due to the fact that the rack is pre-installed on the subframe and has an indirect connection with the steering knuckles.
4.	Matvey , 33 years old (lada-vesta.net): on previous modifications of the Lada, the chassis, suspension, and steering mechanism were worse. I can compare, since before the Lada Vesta there was a Priora and a Granta.
5.	Vasily Petrovich , 43 years old (otzovik.com): my positive review of the chassis and suspension of the Lada Vesta. I've been using the car for three years now, no complaints.
6.	Pyotr Semenovich , 45 years old (www.zr.ru): for me, as a resident of a rural area, you can’t find a better car. I'm happy with the purchase, no complaints. I fix minor breakdowns on my own without going to a service station.
7.	Sergey , 20 years old (autobann.su): rear springs and shock absorbers have become softer compared to the Lada Granta. Minor unevenness is silently absorbed. For our imperfect roads, this is what we need.
8.	Saveliy Petrovich , 43 years old (lada-vesta.net): the vehicle’s ground clearance allows it to overcome many obstacles without reducing speed, detours, or maneuvers. This is very good for city roads when the car follows the flow.
9.	Dmitry , 30 years old (otzovik.com): my positive review of the Lada Vesta, there are no critical comments, and I fix minor breakdowns on my own.
10.	Nikolai Petrovich , 43 years old (www.zr.ru): there are no comments on the components, I systematically carry out technical inspections, diagnostics, and treat equipment with care. The car is three years old, the condition of a new car.
11.	Alexey , 35 years old (autobann.su): replaced the bushings in two years, checked the wheel alignment. I'm pleased with the build quality, my recommendations to motorists.
Negative
12.	Vitaly Nikolaevich , 43 years old (www.zr.ru): in the first year of service, replaced the chassis bushings. The shock absorbers began to leak and the springs began to creak.
13.	Leonid , 27 years old (otzovik.com): after 35,000 km, replaced the standard stabilizer seals with polyurethane ones. The manufacturer saves on materials and installs the cheapest ones.
14.	Arsen Mikhailovich , 45 years old (autobann.su): the model needs to be improved and defects eliminated. It’s better to wait a while or buy a second generation Renault Logan.

Tolyatti character

The suspension is discouraging. Despite the relationship with Logan and Sandero, the Xray chassis is perceived as stiffer, and by an order of magnitude. The energy intensity remains, but, unfortunately, the new product’s arsenal does not include soft passage of deep “funnels”. The painless ride on a broken road, characteristic of Logan and Sandero, has disappeared.

On cobblestones, passengers are not in danger of dozing off.

Even tram rails throw the Xray off balance, not to mention larger obstacles. Shaking a sleeping passenger is a trifle.

Marvelous! But you can put up with all this if you perceive Xray as just a machine and ignore the price list. Alas, in real life you cannot escape price pressure, and the range of 589,000 - 723,000 rubles forces you to test the Lada X-ray more strictly. However, the closest class alternative - the progenitor of the Sandero Stepway - is still more expensive (from 629,900 rubles). Models of a similar design are also more expensive: Kia Soul (from RUR 824,900), Nissan Juke (from RUR 679,000), Peugeot 2008 (from RUR 1,064,000) and Suzuki SX4 Classic (from RUR 785,000). Standing aside is the larger and more controversial Chery Tiggo FL (from 599,000 rubles). Once, a real buyer of a Lada X-ray who met in a stream compared it with Polo, Solaris and Ravon Gentra.

The Lada X-ray made the 350 km between Tolyatti and Kazan easily, gradually instilling hope that with the growing well-being of our citizens, it could become a people's car. To do this, however, we need to take Kazan and many other cities of Russia.

Below is a video comparison of Lada X-ray and Renault Sandero Stepway.
