Alignment: Description and Operation

Wheel Alignment Angles

Camber





Camber is the inward or outward tilting of the wheels at the top.
When the wheel tilts out at the top, then the camber is positive (+).
When the wheel tilts in at the top, then the camber is negative (-).

Caster





Caster is the tilting of the steering axis either forward or backward from vertical.

A backward tilt is positive (+) and a forward tilt is negative (-). Front caster adjustment is not a separate procedure on this vehicle. Front caster should fall within specification when the front camber is adjusted.

Toe





Toe is a measurement of how much the front of the wheels are turned in or out from the straight-ahead position.
