Alignment: Description and Operation
Drift/Pull
Wheel Alignment Angles
The front caster and camber are adjusted by removing the lower arm front and rear bolts and installing adjuster kits to allow the arm to be adjusted in the
frame slots. Front toe is adjusted by the use of the front wheel knuckle tie rods. The rear camber is adjusted by removing the upper arm camber set shim
or shim pins to allow the arm to be adjusted in the frame slot. The rear toe is adjusted by the use of the rear toe link cam bolt and nut.
Drift/Pull
Pull is a tugging sensation, felt by the hands on the steering wheel, that must be overcome to keep the vehicle going straight.
Drift describes what a vehicle with this condition does with hands off the steering wheel.
-
A vehicle-related drift/pull, on a flat road, will cause a consistent deviation from the straight-ahead path and require constant steering input in the
opposite direction to counteract the effect.
-
Drift/pull may be induced by conditions external to the vehicle (such as wind or road camber).
