When it comes to wheel alignment, three critical angles need to be set correctly: caster, camber, and toe. Let's delve into what each term means and how it affects your driving experience.
Caster refers to the angle created by the steering pivot point from the front to the rear of the vehicle. Positive caster angles help with stability at higher speeds and improve the vehicle's steering returnability. Negative caster angles can make the vehicle more difficult to control and lead to uneven tyre wear.
Camber is the tilt of the tyre when viewed from the front of the vehicle. If the top of the tyre tilts inward (towards the vehicle), it’s known as negative camber. Conversely, if it tilts outward (away from the vehicle), it’s called positive camber. Incorrect camber settings can cause premature tyre wear and affect your vehicle's handling.
Toe alignment refers to the direction in which the tyres are pointed relative to the centreline of the vehicle. If the fronts of the tyres are closer together than the rears, it is termed as toe-in. If the rears are closer together, it’s toe-out. Proper toe alignment ensures even tyre wear and a stable, comfortable ride.
