Wheel Alignment, Front

Wheel alignment measurements describe the angular orientation of the wheel/tire assembly and the steering axis.

Caster, camber and toe are the three major, measurable alignment parameters.

• Camber and toe affect tire wear and directional stability.
• Caster affects directional stability without causing tire wear.
• The values of caster, camber and toe change when a vehicle is loaded and driven. Therefore, the specifications shown in this section reflect the static measurement of alignment required so the vehicle will have an alignment when driven that is most favorable for tire wear and directional stability.
