The corners of the front axle

The angles of the wheels greatly affect the stability and handling of the car, tire wear and fuel consumption. There are the following wheel alignment.

Camber - the angle between the plane of rotation of the wheel and vertical. It can be positive if the wheels are inclined outwardly, or negative if the wheels are inclined inwardly. Camber mainly affects the uniformity of deterioration of tires of the front wheels. If the camber of one wheel positive, and the other - no, the car will withdraw aside at movement in a straight line.

Convergence - the difference between the distances between the rim flange, measured the rear and front wheels at their centers. Positive convergence means that the distance between the front wheels is smaller than the rear. A negative convergence means that the distance between the rear wheels is smaller than the front.

The transverse inclination of the axis of rotation wheel - is the angle between the axis of rotation of the knuckle and the vertical transverse plane of the vehicle.

Due to the collapse of the angles and transverse tilt axis of rotation point of contact with the road wheels is closer to the axis of rotation of the wheel knuckle. This distance is called the shoulder running. The smaller kingpin offset, the easier driving. Furthermore, impacts on the coating unevenness is less transmitted to the steering system.

Longitudinal tilt wheel rotation axis - is the angle between the axis of rotation of the knuckle and the vertical longitudinal plane of the vehicle. The axis about which the wheel rotates, is located in the space so that the lower part brought forward. Such corner of a longitudinal inclination is called positive. If a positive angle provides better stability and stabilization of the steered wheels in rectilinear motion.

Check and adjustment of corners of installation of wheels produced by a workshop in connection with the need to use complex equipment.
