The correct wheel alignment promotes longer
tire wear and ease of handling while minimiz-
ing the strain on the steering system and the
axle components.
Camber:
Camber, as shown below, is vertical tilt of
wheel as viewed from the front of the vehicle.
This is machined into the axle when manufac-
tured and is not adjustable.
• “Positive” camber is an outward tilt of the
wheel at the top.
• “Negative” camber is an inward tilt of the
wheel at the top.
Toe Setting:
The toe setting represents different
distances between the front and rear of
the tires (measured at the vertical cen-
terline of the tires).
Toe-in occurs when the tire front
distance is less than the tire rear dis-
tance.
Toe-out occurs when the tire front
distance is greater than the tire rear
distance.
Wheels are generally set with ini-
tial toe-in. As the vehicle operates,
tires tend toward a toe-out condition.
By starting with an initial toe-in set-
ting a desirable “near zero toe-in” can
be achieved when the vehicle is in
motion.
Incorrect toe settings, where toed-
in or toed-out, can have a significant
effect on tire wear. The toe setting is
adjusted by lengthening or shortening
the cross tube.
The toe setting is .03 degree.
