background image

car's axis of symmetry, which is an imaginary line drawn between the center points of the front and rear axles.

In connection with wheel alignment, equipment for 4-wheel measurement must be used; the rear wheels must be aligned before the front wheels since
they serve as reference points for the front wheels. The car's behavior on the road is dependent on correct wheel alignment.

Incorrect toe-in can cause vibrations which lead to pronounced tire wear since the tires will slide laterally. Excessive toe-in often causes wear on the
outer tire shoulders.

Camber

Camber refers to the angle (B) formed between the wheel and the vertical (A), see figure.

If the wheel leans outwards, the camber is said to be positive (+). If the wheel leans inwards, the camber is said to be negative (-). The normal camber for
the car is negative.

Wheel camber cannot be adjusted.

Rear camber is adjusted by rotating an off-center bolt located in the lower suspension arm mounting in the subframe.
