Understanding Vehicle Alignment Angles

What is the primary purpose of adjusting the camber angle in a vehicle's wheel alignment?

• To ensure the steering wheel is centered

• To optimize tire contact with the road

• To reduce engine vibrations

• To increase fuel efficiency

Which tool is commonly used to measure the caster angle in a vehicle?

• Torque wrench

• casterometer

• Alignment Equipment

• Tire pressure gauge

• The front of the wheels are closer together than the rear

• The rear of the wheels are closer together than the front

• The wheels are perfectly parallel

• The wheels are perpendicular to the ground

Which of the following is NOT a common tool used in vehicle alignment?

• Alignment rack

• Wheel balancer

• Combination Wrench

• Tire pressure gauge

What is a potential effect of misalignment on a vehicle?

• Improved fuel economy

• Uneven tire wear

• Increased engine power

• Enhanced braking performance

Which step is typically first in a standard vehicle alignment procedure?

• Adjusting the toe angle

• Checking tire pressure

• Measuring the camber angle

• Aligning the steering wheel

How does a positive caster angle affect a vehicle's handling?

• It improves straight-line stability

• It enhances cornering performance

• It reduces tire wear

• It increases fuel efficiency

What is the typical range for caster angle in most passenger vehicles?

Which alignment angle is primarily responsible for the vehicle's directional stability?

• Camber

• Caster

• Toe

• Thrust

What is the consequence of having excessive toe-out on a vehicle?

• Improved fuel efficiency

• Increased tire wear on the inner edges

• Enhanced cornering ability

• Reduced steering response
