How to Determine Wheel Position?

[LeKaleb]

Methods for determining wheel position are as follows: 1. Longitudinal position of the left wheel: The wheel actually has width. Taking the center of the wheel as a reference, the position of the left wheel from the driver's perspective is roughly at the line of the left one-third groove on the engine hood, but looking further ahead will yield greater accuracy. For other vehicles, the left wheel might align with the position of the left foot clutch, which is about ten centimeters to the left of the steering wheel center, not exceeding the edge of the steering wheel. 2. Position 30 cm away from the left wheel: The junction between the front windshield and the left car frame is called the A-pillar. Aligning the intersection point of the glass and the A-pillar with a distant point on the road surface will position you exactly 30 cm away from the left wheel. 3. Longitudinal position of the right wheel: This is a very important reference point. The right wheel position is at the center of the front of the car. You can also find a reference object, such as the right edge of the protruding end of the left wiper blade or the left side of the root of the right wiper on a Volkswagen Santana.
