Session 2 wheel alignment review

Negative thrust angle is when:

• The left spindle is further back than the right spindle

• The right spindle is further back than the left spindle

• The thrust line is to the driver's side of the geometric centre line

• The thrust line is to the passenger side of the geometric centre line

Positive camber places most of the vehicle load on which wheel bearing?

• Inner wheel bearing

• Outer wheel bearing

• Both wheel bearings

• Neither wheel bearing

Rear toe should always be measured to establish:

• Thrust angle

• Centre line

• Suspension height

• Frame angle

Positive scrub radius is a direct result of S.A.I (steering axis inclination) and __________________ working together.

• Caster

• Camber

• Toe

• Set back

If camber is unequal side to side, the vehicle will pull in which direction?

• The side with the most camber

• The side with the least camber

• Neither side, camber is not a pull angle

You're performing an alignment on a vehicle and find that the right front caster is +1.0 degree and the left front caster is +2.0 degrees. Will the vehicle have a pull?

• Yes to the left

• Yes to the right

• No caster is not a pull angle

• No, this is to compensate for road crown

What alignment angle will have the greatest effect on tire wear?

• Camber

• Caster

• Toe

• Included angle

A disadvantage of positive caster is?

• Road shock

• Steering returnability

• Wander

• Directional stability

_____________ is the angle of the wheel from vertical when viewed from the front of the vehicle.

• Camber

• Caster

• Toe

• Steering axis inclination

Included angle is calculated by:

• Camber plus caster

• Camber plus S.A.I

• Caster plus S.A.I

• Caster plus toe
