Toe angle difference
D
Center point of operating circle
The toe angle difference is the angle adjustment of the inner
cornering wheel relative to the outer cornering wheel when
negotiating a curve. Steering is designed in such a way that
angular position of wheels changes as steering lock progresses.
A correctly adjusted toe angle difference produces equal values
for left and right lock with consideration of factory tolerances.
Toe angle difference provides information on corresponding
operation of steering trapezoid for left or right steering lock from
center position.
Camber
Inclination of the wheel from the perpendicular.
Toe
Reduction in distance of front of front wheels to rear of front
wheels. The toe-in prevents the wheels from moving apart during
driving and thus:
•
the wheels from vibrating and grinding
•
excessive tire wear
•
excessive strain on the steering linkage and its links/joints
•
heavy vehicle steering
Measurement is performed in "straight-ahead mode".
