Thrust Angle Description





The front wheels aim or steer the vehicle but the rear wheels control the tracking. The tracking action is related to the thrust angle. Thrust angle (3) is defined as a path that the rear wheels will take (1). Ideally, the thrust angle would be geometrically aligned with the body centerline (2).
