Check the camber angle on both sides.
For correct value, see: Wheel cambers See: Specifications/Alignment Specifications 

Checking the front caster angle

Check the caster angle on both sides.
For the correct values, see  Wheel cambers See: Specifications/Alignment Specifications 

Checking front toe angle

Check that the instruments are calibrated to one another on the front and rear axle. This is extremely important in order to be able to adjust toe angle of
the front wheels in relation to the car's thrust line (geometrical driving axis).
The thrust line is the line created when the toe-in angles for the rear wheels are equally divided (see the illustration). The difference between the
symmetry line of the wheels and the thrust line is called the thrust angle. The thrust angle must not deviate by more than a maximum of 0° ± 0.25° from
the symmetry line of the wheels.

Check:

-

the symmetry line of the wheels

-

the thrust line

-

the thrust angle.
