Alignment: Description and Operation
General Description

Front wheel alignment refers to the angular relationship between the front wheels, the front suspension attaching parts, and the ground.

Proper front wheel alignment must be maintained in order to ensure efficient steering, good directional stability, and prevent abnormal tire wear.

The most important factors of front wheel alignment are wheel toe-in, wheel camber, and axle caster.
