Alignment: Description and Operation
Wheel alignment refers to the angular relationship between a vehicles wheels, suspension attaching points, and the ground. Vehicles with properly
aligned front and rear suspensions handle predictably, and provide good straight line stability on the highway with minimal tire wear. In real world
driving conditions, wheel alignment settings change over time due to suspension component wear or damage; they must be periodically checked and
adjusted as necessary.
THRUST ANGLE
Thrust angle is the angle between the geometric centerline of the vehicle and the direction that the rear wheels track. Ideally, the thrust angle is equal
to zero.
CAMBER
Camber is a measure of wheel tilt from the vertical direction, when the wheel is viewed from the front or rear of the vehicle. Camber is negative when
the top of the wheel tilts inward and positive when the top of the wheel tilts outward.
