STEERING AXIS INCLINATION (S. A. I.)
Steering axis inclination is the angle between a true vertical line starting at the center of the tire at the road contact point and a line drawn through the
center of the upper ball joint (or strut) and the lower ball joint (Fig. 5). S.A.I. is built into the vehicle and is not an adjustable angle. If S.A.I. is not
within specifications, a bent or damaged suspension component may be the cause.
INCLUDED ANGLE (I.A.)
Included angle is the sum of the S.A.I. angle plus or minus the camber angle, depending on whether or not the wheel has positive or negative camber
(Fig. 5). If camber is positive, add the camber angle to the S.A.I. angle. If camber is negative, subtract the camber angle from the S.A.I. angle.
Included angle is not adjustable, but can be used to diagnose a frame misalignment or bent suspension component (spindle, strut).
THRUST ANGLE
Thrust angle is the averaged direction the rear wheels are pointing in relation to the vehicle's center line (Fig. 6). The presence of negative or positive
