camber will cause tread wear at the inside of the
tire, while excessive positive camber will cause out-
side tire wear.
Caster is the number of degrees of forward or
rearward tilt of the steering knuckle. Forward tilt
provides a negative caster angle, while rearward tilt
provides a positive caster angle. Caster is not adjust-
able on this vehicle.
Cross Camber is the difference between left and
right camber. The right side camber is to be sub-
tracted from the left, resulting in the cross camber
reading. For example, if the left camber is +0.3° and
the right camber is 0.0°, the cross camber would be
+0.3°.
Toe is measured in degrees or inches and is the
difference in width between the centered leading and
trailing edges of the tires on the same axle (Fig. 1).
Toe-in means that the front width is more narrow
than the rear. Toe-out means that the front width is
wider than the rear.
Thrust Angle is defined as the average of the toe
settings on each rear wheel. If this measurement is
out of specification, re-adjust rear wheel toe so that
each wheel has 1/2 of the total Toe measurement.
When re-adjusting, do not exceed the total toe speci-
fication.
