Description of wheel alignment Note: suspension components with rubber/urethane bushings should be tightened with vehicle in normal ride height. It is important to have the sources support the weight of the vehicle when the fastener is tightened. If the springs are not their usual ride, ride comfort of the car can be affected and may occur premature bushing wear. Convergence includes the correct positioning of the wheel relative to the vehicle. Positioning is done through adjustments to the suspension and steering linkage.
Alignment is necessary for efficient management, good directional stability and minimize tire wear. The most important measure of alignment are caster, camber and toe. Warning: never attempt to change the suspension or steering components by heating or bending. Note: may require periodic lubrication of front suspension/Steering system components. Rubber bushing should never be lubricated. Refer to LUBRICATION maintenance & for recommended maintenance schedule. Operation wheel alignment CASTER is forward or backward tilt of the Steering knuckle from the vertical. Tilt the top of the knuckle forward provides negative Caster. Tilt the top of the knuckle directed provides positive Caster. Positive caster promotes stability. This angle allows the front wheel to return to forward position after turns. See fig. 1 BULGE inward or outward tilt of the wheel relative to the center of the car. Tilt the top of the wheel inside has negative camber. Tilt the top of the outside wheel provides a positive camber.
Incorrect camber will wear inside or outside edge of the tire. Cm. Fig. 1 thumb the difference between leading and trailing edges inside the inside edges of the front tires. The Cape from the unreliable steering wheel, tyre wear uneven and the Centre of the steering wheel. Cape final alignment correction is steering the front wheel. See fig. 1 the thrust angle is the angle of the rear axle to the centreline of the vehicle. Wrong thrust angle can cause the center of the Steering and excessive wear of the tyres. This angle adjustable, no damaged components must be replaced to eliminate the thrust angle. Cm. Download
