Alignment: Description and Operation

GENERAL INFORMATION

Front alignment refers to the angular relationship between the front wheels, the front suspension attaching parts and the ground. Generally, the
only adjustment required for front alignment is toe setting. 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. If the body is damaged, it should be repaired and if suspension is damaged, it should replaced.

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" front "B" as shown in above figure and therefore is given in mm (inch).

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.
