44-7
Calculating the direction of travel:
- If both toe figures have the same preceding sign
(+/+ or -/-), subtract the smaller figure from the
larger figure and divide by 2
Example.
Left rear wheel
toe
Right rear wheel
toe
+ 15'
+ 5'
15' - 5' =
10'
10' : 2 = 5'
Deviation from direction of travel = 5'
- Add figures with different sign (+/-) and divide by
2
Example.
Left rear wheel
toe
Right rear wheel
toe
+ 15'
- 5'
15' + 5' =
20'
20' : 2 =
10'
Deviation from direction of travel = 10'
The individual result is the actual alignment
deviation from the vehicle longitudinal axis.
