Wheel alignment, often referred to as tire or car alignment, is the process of adjusting the angles of the wheels so that they are set to the car manufacturer’s specifications. The purpose of these adjustments is to reduce tire wear, ensure straight vehicle travel without pulling to one side, and improve handling and fuel efficiency.
Here’s a breakdown of the key components of wheel alignment:
- Camber: This is the inward or outward angle of the tire when viewed from the front of the vehicle. Too much inward or outward tilt, known as negative or positive camber, respectively, can cause premature wear on the tire and could indicate suspension problems that need repair.
- Caster: When you view the side of the vehicle, caster is the angle of the steering pivot. Positive caster means the steering axis tilts toward the driver, while negative caster means it tilts toward the front of your vehicle. Proper caster ensures good stability, steering, and cornering.
- Toe: This refers to the extent to which the tires turn inward or outward when viewed from above. Toe-in means the fronts of the tires are closer to each other than the rears, and toe-out is the opposite. Correct toe alignment is critical for even tire wear and precise steering.
