Alignment: Description and Operation

TOE SETTING 

Toe is the turning in or out of the front wheels. The purpose of a toe specification is to ensure parallel rolling of the front wheels (Excessive toe-in or
toe-out may increase tire wear). Amount of toe can be obtained by subtracting "A" from "B" as shown in figure and therefore is given in mm (inch).
Among factors for rear wheel alignment, only toe setting can be adjusted. Camber and caster can't be adjusted. Therefore, should camber or caster be
out of specification due to the damage caused by hazardous road conditions or collision, whether the damage is in body or in suspension should be
determined and damaged body should be repaired or damaged suspension should be replaced.

CAMBER 

Camber is the tilting of the front wheels from the vertical, as viewed from the front of the vehicle. When the wheels tilt outward at the top, the camber
is positive. When the wheels tilt inward at the top, the camber is negative. The amount of tilt is measured in degrees.
