1 Answers
The main function of wheel alignment is to keep the car driving straight stably and make steering easier, while reducing the wear and tear on tires and steering components during driving. If there are issues with wheel alignment, the vehicle may experience deviation and affect its balance during turns, impacting acceleration, braking, and suspension stress, which can be detrimental to safe driving. The following details about wheel alignment: The main data adjusted during wheel alignment includes caster, camber, toe, and kingpin inclination. Adjusting caster mainly maintains straight-line stability and steering return; adjusting camber also maintains stability and steering return; adjusting toe increases the tire contact area to offset adverse effects; adjusting toe compensates for the adverse effects caused by wheel camber or toe-in.
