Alignment terms
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Inward and outward tilt of the top of the tire as viewed from the front of the vehicle. | Camber |
| Forward and rearward tilt of the steering axis as viewed from the side of the vehicle. | Caster |
| Angle formed by drawing an imaginary line through the steering axis and wheel center line. | Steering axis inclination |
| Angle. Formed by drawing an imaginary line through the steering axis and wheel allowing for camber. | Included angle |
| Distance measured between the front of the wheels compared to the distance measured from the back of the same wheels. | Toe |
| Relationship of all four wheels to each other as well as there relationship to center line that runs from bumper to bumper. | Thrust Line |
| Measurement usually made from the rocker panel to the ground, that should not vary more than 1 inch from side to side. | Ride height |
| Difference between where SAI imaginary line and the imaginary center line of the tire and where the two lines intersect the ground. | Scrub Radius |
| Inside wheel will tracks at a sharper radius than the outside wheel during turns what alignment angle does this describe? | Toe-out-on-turns. (Ackerman Angle) |
| This alignment angle will cause the car to pull to the more negative side but in most instances does not cause tire wear. | Caster |
| Tire is wearing on the inside of the tread what angle best describes this condition. | Camber |
| Tire is tilted in at the top as viewed from the front describes this angle. | Negative Camber |
| This alignment angle is usually used to offset roar crown. | Caster |
| This angle set more positive on one side of the vehicle than the other will cause a pull to the more positive side. | Camber |
| Tire wear on the outside edge of the tire indicates what inaccurate angle? | Positive Camber |
| Tire wear in the center of tire. | Over inflation |
| Tire wear outside on the edges of tires. | Under inflation |
