The correct wheel alignment promotes longer tire wear
and ease of handling while minimizing the strain on the steer-
ing system and the axle components.
Camber:
Camber (as shown in diagram) is the verti-
cal tilt of the wheel as viewed from the front
of the vehicle. This is machined into the axle
when manufactured 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 dis-
tances between the front and rear of the
tires (measured at the vertical centerline of
the tires).
Toe-in occurs when the tire front dis-
tance is less than the tire rear distance.
Toe-out occurs when the tire front dis-
tance is greater than the tire rear distance.
Wheels are generally set with initial
toe-in. As the vehicle operates, tires tend
toward a toe-out condition. By starting
with an initial toe-in setting, 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.
