1. Pre-check and, if necessary, bring the air pressure in the tires to normal.
2. Place the car perpendicular to a smooth wall (eg in a garage) at a distance of 3 m. Place a weight of 75 kg on the driver's seat. Mark the screen on the wall as shown in fig. 1492. The longitudinal plane of symmetry of the car must pass along line 0 on the screen. Rock the car from the side so that the suspension springs self-adjust.
