Abstract
A. Six items for wheel alignment
B. Other factors to influence wheel alignment
Introduction
Inaccurate wheel alignment can cause:
CD difficult steering
® poor steering stability
® poor reciprocation on hairpin comer
@ shorten the tire life span
... etc.

"*The distance between the cross point of
steering axle centerline and the ground to the
contact surface center of the tire and ground is
called backward inclination drag distance.

Conclusion
*As the growing development of vehicle suspension
and steering system structure, the demand for wheel
alignment angle is getting stronger.
*Wheel alignment equipment is not for adjusting or
changing alignment angle but a reference for
mechanics. Mechanics compared the original angle
with measured angle. If it exceeds tolerable range
then they may adjust or replace the parts for keeping
it at original angle.
*Advanced equipments required experienced and
skilled mechanics.
