Tracker 4WD L4-1.6L VIN 6 (1998)
Camber is the tilt of the wheels from the vertical. The camber is viewed from the front of the vehicle.
The wheels can tilt either outward or inward at the top:
^
When the wheels tilt outward at the top, the camber is positive (+).
^
When the wheels tilt inward, the camber is negative (-).
The camber angle (1) is the amount of tilt measured in degrees from the vertical.
The camber influences both directional control and tire wear. Refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications for camber specifications.
Toe Description
Toe is a measurement of the deviation of the front of the wheels from the geometric centerline.
The toe can be either positive or negative:
^
The toe is positive (+) when the wheels turn inward (toe-inch) (2).
^
The toe is negative (-) when the wheels turn outward (toe-out) (1).
The toe usually measures less than 1 degree.
The toe serves the following purposes:
^
The toe ensures that the wheels roll parallel to each other.
^
The toe offsets the small deflections that are present in the wheel support system while the vehicle is rolling forward.
The wheels may be set to toe in or out slightly when the vehicle is standing still, but the wheels will roll parallel to each other while the vehicle is
moving.
^
The toe affects the tire wear.
Refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications for toe specifications.
Setback Description
One front wheel may be to the rear of the other front wheel. The distance between the two wheels is the setback.
