The method of checking a vehicle’s front and rear wheel alignment will vary depending on the type and Typical wheel alignment angles and measurements are camber, caster, toe, and thrust angle. • Camber is the number of degrees the top of the tire and wheel are tilted either inward or outward • Caster is the number of degrees of forward or rearward tilt of the steering knuckle (Fig. 2). For- ward tilt provides a positive caster angle. Caster is • Cross Camber is the difference between left and right camber. To achieve the cross camber reading, • Toe is measured in degrees or inches and is the difference in width between the centered leading and • Thrust Angle is defined as the average of the toe settings on each rear wheel. If this measurement is Wheel alignment on this vehicle is to be checked and all alignment adjustments are to be made with JX SUSPENSION 2 - 1 |
