Wheel geometry adjustment
Each make and model of vehicle has different combinations of caster, camber and toe adjustments. These must be adjusted correctly and can only be adjusted correctly by an experienced technician.
Correctly aligned wheel geometry significantly extends the life of your tyres - they wear smoothly, your car handles more accurately and your fuel consumption is lower.
When should I check and adjust the torsion or tilt?
- If the steering wheel is not straight, your car is "pulling" to one side or the other.
- After hitting a sharp pothole or other impact with the car's rolling parts.
- After steering repairs or replacement of rolling stock parts.
The two most common problems that can cause rapid tyre wear are misalignment and twisting.
Summary
This parameter determines whether the car's wheels are in an upright position. Correct camber maximises the tyre's tread area contact with the road, ensures safer cornering, better braking and reduces tread wear.
Savirs
If the front wheels of your car are excessively turned inwards or outwards, this will usually lead to excessive tread wear on the tyre edges and can also cause unpredictable steering reactions.
