Alignment: Description and Operation

DESCRIPTION 

Vehicle wheel alignment is the proper adjustment of all interrelated front and rear suspension angles. These angles are what affects the handling and
steering of the vehicle when it is in motion.
The method of checking a vehicle's front and rear wheel alignment will vary depending on the type and manufacturer of the equipment being used.
Instructions furnished by the manufacturer of the equipment being used should always be followed to ensure accuracy of the alignment, except when
alignment specifications recommended by Daimler/Chrysler Corporation differ.
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 assembly is tilted either inward or outward. Camber is a tire wearing angle.
Excessive negative camber will cause tread wear at the inside of the tire, while excessive positive camber will cause outside tire wear.

-

Cross Camber is the difference between left and right camber. To achieve the cross camber reading, subtract the right side camber reading from
the left. For example, if the left camber is +0.31| and the right camber is 0.01|, the cross camber would be +0.31|.

-

Caster is the number of degrees of forward or rearward tilt of the steering knuckle. Forward tilt provides a negative caster angle, while rearward tilt
provides a positive caster angle. Although caster does not affect tire wear, a caster imbalance (side-to-side) on the vehicle may cause the vehicle to
lead to the side with the least positive caster. Caster is not adjustable on this vehicle.

-

Cross Caster is the difference between left and right caster.
