1. INTRODUCTION TO
ALIGNMENT PRINCIPLES
ALIGNMENT ANGLES
When vehicle wheel alignment is considered, many angles
of measurement are possible. However there are three
main angles that are always considered of greatest impor-
tance when performing a vehicle’s alignment. These are
CASTER, CAMBER, and TOE. While these are important
angles it is important not to overlook the other angles due to
their importance in affecting these angles as well as provid-
ing a method of troubleshooting problems with a vehicles
suspension.
When performing an alignment, it is important to note that
a change in one angle will affect other angles. In cases of
a major change to a vehicles suspension, for example due
to repair, the alignment is typically performed doing Caster
first, then Camber followed by Toe. If major changes are
made all angles should be re-checked and verified after
adjustments have been made.
CAMBER ANGLE
FIG 1.1
Camber is the angular measurement of the outward or inward
tilt of the center-line of the wheel from true vertical at the top of
the wheel. Positive camber is defined as an outward tilt from
vertical (see fig 1.1), and negative camber would be an inward
tilt. Camber is a tire wearing angle, and is usually adjust-
able. In cases where a factory adjustment is not available
often there are shims or kits to make adjustments possible.
MEASUREMENT METHOD
This angle is read from an electrolytic vial (or on some older
units, an electronic inclinometer) on each wheel unit.
16
WHAT CAMBER DOES
Camber helps to position the weight of the vehicle
over the point where the tire contacts the road, thus
placing the vehicle load on the inner wheel bearing.
NEGATIVE CAMBER
Negative Camber is used to ensure an even tire contact dur-
ing cornering. Excessive negative camber can cause inside
tire wear. The vehicle will pull to the side with the most positive
camber if there is a difference in camber angle between sides.
POSITIVE CAMBER
Positive Camber is often used to induce understeer in some
cars during hard cornering where most drivers cannot drive
oversteer conditions that may be caused by negative cam-
ber. Excessive positive camber will cause outside tire wear.
The vehicle will pull to the side with the most positive camber.
ADJUSTMENT METHODS
Shims, Cams, Slotted Frame, Strut Rotation, Wedges, Ball
Joint Rotation, Offset Bearing Plates, Cam Bolts, Offset
Bushings, Offset Ball Joints.
S.A.I. ( STEERING ANGLE INCLINATION )
ALSO KNOWN AS:
K.P.I. ( KING PIN INCLINATION )
B.J.I. ( BALL JOINT INCLINATION )
FIG 1.2
Steering Angle Inclination (S.A.I.) is the angular measure-
ment of the inward tilt at the top from true vertical of the
axis created by the front strut, ball joints, or kingpin of
the vehicle’s suspension. It is a non-adjustable angle. It
may, however, change when any adjustment for camber is
made. This will vary with different front suspension designs
(MacPherson strut, short/long arm, I Beam, solid axle, etc).
MEASUREMENT METHOD
S.A.I. is calculated from readings taken from the Camber/
Pitch level vial during the caster swing. S.A.I. does not con-
tribute directly to tire wear.
WHAT SAI DOES
S.A.I. aids in weight distribution particularly on turns. It pro-
vides directional control stability and steering wheel return
along with Caster. S.A.I. is always a positive angle, since
by design a negative angle in not possible. S.A.I. may also
be called B.J.I. (Ball Joint Inclination) or K.P.I. (King Pin
Inclination).
INCLUDED ANGLE
FIG 1.3
The Included Angle is the sum of Camber and S.A.I. (see
fig 1.3). It is actually this angle that is measured by the
S.A.I. vial during the caster swing.
MEASUREMENT METHOD
S.A.I. is calculated by subtracting the measured camber
from the included angle. See the examples shown below.
CAMBER = 2 INCLUDED ANGLE = 3
3 - 2 = 1 S.A.I.
CAMBER = -1 INCLUDED ANGLE = 3
3 - (-1) = 4 S.A.I.
Thus, the sum of the Camber and S.A.I. angles should equal
the included angle. Camber is measured on the front wheels
individually when each front wheel is swung to zero toe. This
ensures the high accuracy and repeatability of the camber
and S.A.I. readings.
WHAT I.A. DOES
I.A. is another method of SAI measurement and is often used
to determine damage to the frame, sub-frame, K-member or
suspension arms. I.A. is always a positive angle.
17
SCRUB RADIUS
FIG 1.4
Scrub Radius is defined as the distance between the project-
ed steering axis inclination (SAI) and the projected Centerline
of the wheel at the point where the tire contacts the road sur-
face (see fig 1.4). The point where the SAI angle intersects
the road is where the force is applied to the tire. If there is a
forward force of the vehicle (as it would be driving down the
road), and the SAI was projected to the inside of the tire, the
drag on the tire would tend to force the wheel outward. If the
force were on the outside of the tire it would force it inward.
Scrub radius is a design determined specification, and
not mechanically adjustable. However, if the scrub radius
is incorrect, tire wear and hard steering could result.
POSITIVE SCRUB RADIUS
Positive scrub radius is defined as a steering axis inboard
from the Centerline of the wheel (typical of Rear Wheel
Drive vehicles), and negative scrub radius would be a
steering axis outboard the Centerline of the wheel (typi-
cal of Front Wheel Drive Vehicles). The Scrub radius will
change the effect that vehicle forces impose on the toe.
Positive Scrub Radius will tend to create a force moving
the wheels outward on a rear drive vehicle. Negative Scrub
radius creates a force that forces the wheels out on a front
wheel drive vehicle while under power. This is found on front
wheel drive vehicles using MacPherson Strut suspensions.
NEUTRAL SCRUB RADIUS
A Neutral or near zero scrub radius will reduce the effects of
these forces. For this reason wheel selection can be critical
particularly on a front wheel drive vehicle. The wrong wheel
offset can create a different scrub angle and destroy the
good handling of the vehicle and it cannot be compensated
for in the alignment.
The suspension design for scrub radius can often be seen
in the difference between front wheel drive and rear wheel
drive. On front drive the wheels typically have their mounting
surface toward the outside of the wheel making them more
flat looking from the outside. Rear wheel drive suspension
running a positive scrub radius will typically be dished.­­­­
 CASTER ANGLE
FIG 1.5
Caster is the rearward or forward tilt of the steering axis from
true vertical.
This angle is primarily used for directional stability while the
vehicle is moving straight ahead.
Positive caster is defined as a rearward tilt at the top of the
steering axis and a negative caster is a forward tilt. (see fig 1.5)
The point where the caster axis intersects level ground is
where the vehicle forces are projected. Most vehicles utilize
some amount of positive caster. This angle does not nor-
mally contribute to tire wear when the vehicle is within the
manufacturer’s specifications.
MEASUREMENT METHOD
Caster is calculated by the change in Camber reading over
a specific turning range of wheel from left to right. Caster
can only be measured on the front wheels.
WHAT CASTER DOES
A positive caster will aid in steering wheel return to a straight
ahead position. This is typically noticed following turns.
POSITIVE CASTER
If the angle is excessive (positive) steering will feel stiff
going into turns typically on vehicles without power steering.
NEGATIVE CASTER
Negative caster will allow turning into corners easier while
the vehicle is moving forward, however excessive nega-
tive caster will make the vehicle wander or cause it to be
unstable at speed while driving straight ahead.
ADJUSTMENT METHOD
Strut Rod, Shims, Cams, Slotted Frame, Strut Rotation,
Wedges, Ball Joint Rotation, Offset Ball Joints.

TOE
Toe us a design specification indicated by manufacturers to
achieve a “running toe condition” which provides directional
stability, low rolling resistance and optimum tire life.
FIG 1.6
MEASUREMENT METHOD
If dimension “B” is greater than dimension “A”, the vehicle is
defined to have “Toe In”. (see fig 1.7)
FIG 1.7
Toe can be measured both as an angle or by the difference
between the “A” and “B” measurement. Though the method
of measurement differs depending on regions and vehicle
manufacturer’s specifications, it is becoming increasingly
common to measure toe as an angle.
WHAT TOE DOES
If “A” is greater than “B”, the vehicle has negative toe or
“Toe Out”. On rear wheel drive vehicles, the front wheels are
being pushed along the road, and normal road drag will act
to separate the front edges of the front wheels as the play
in the front end is taken up.
These rear wheel drive vehicles typically require some
amount of toe in, such that when drag acts to separate the
front wheels, the front ends track at zero toe. This assumes
a typical positive scrub radius.
On most front wheel drive vehicles, the torque on the front
wheels acts to pull the front edges of the front wheels
together (when a positive scrub radius exists). In this situa-
tion, some toe out will allow the front wheels to track at zero
toe. However, not all front wheel drive vehicles require toe
out, and the manufacturer’s specifications must always be
checked before any adjustments are made. This is due to
varying scrub angles which affect the toe dynamics while
the vehicle is driving down the road.

EXCESSIVE TOE

Toe is a common tire wearing angle. Excessive toe either

in or out will cause tire wear and unstable operation. When
the toe is extreme the vehicle will typically go in the direction
of the most loaded tire (or the one with the most traction),
meaning that as the vehicle goes over bumps it will dart
from one side to the other. This can also be due to bump
steer which is a different condition. Bump Steer is caused
when the toe angle changes as the vehicle suspension com-
presses expands.

ADJUSTMENT METHOD

Almost all vehicles use some form of Tie Rod Adjuster.

When toe is measured it represents the difference between

dimension “A” and “B. Dimension “A” is the distance from
the extreme front edge (centerline) of the left tire to the
extreme front edge of the right tire. Dimension “B” is the
distance from the extreme rear edge (centerline) of the left
tire to the extreme rear edge of the right tire. The toe present
on the vehicle is then (B - A). Toe measurements are read
as an angular measurement.

Part IV Sensor Head Maintenance &
Database Manager
1. Sensor Heads Test
Note: This procedure requires a calibration bar, two
stands and a 5 degree level.
Calibration Bar- Calibration of the sensors requires use
of the Calibration Bar. This Kit consists of one Main Bar
approximately 5.5 feet long, one pair of stands with adjust-
ment screws, and one pair of sub bars
FIG 1.1
Stand- There is one lock screw on the top and three screws
on the bottom of each stand. Both longitudinal and transver-
sal axes of the entire calibration bar can leveled by adjust-
ing these screws. Lock the main bar’s position by using the
lock screw. Use the 5° level and the 6 adjustment screws to
adjust the main bar until it is level.
FIG 1.2
Note: When all four sensor heads are on the calibra-
tion bar, a piece of cardboard must be placed against
the main bar. This will prevent the sensor heads from
interfering with each other and solve most communica-
tion issues.
5 degree level- The 5° level is used to ensure that the
calibration bar and sensor heads are level. It should also be
used to check each side of the sub bars and the aluminum
tube that extends out of each sensor head.
FIG 1.3
Sub Bar- The sub bars are adapters that make it possible
to mount two sensor heads to one side of the main calibra-
tion bar.
FIG 1.4
1. From the home screen click Management or press
F11.
2. Select Maintenance or press F2. A prompt to enter the
aligner software password will appear.
3. Press F3 or click on Sensor Head Test.
4. Click on Direct Read.
5. Completely level the calibration bar using the 3 screws 10. If any of the values were out of tolerance or a major
located on each of the bases. The sub bars should not
be attached when verifying the calibration bar is level.
6. Attach the two sub bars to the calibration bar.
NOTE: Place cardboard against the Main Bar without
blocking the longitudinal beams.
7. Mount and level all four sensor heads on both the
transverse (parallel to the Sub Bar) and longitudinal
(parallel to the Main Bar) axes.
NOTE: All sensor heads must be perfectly level before
status of the sensor head calibration can be checked.
8. The numbers inside of the Blue boxes are for the level
sensors. Each sensor head can measure both the
transverse and longitudinal axes. The tolerance for
these values are 0.00 + or – 0.1. So if the values are
between -0.10 and +0.10 they are acceptable and do
not need to be recalibrated. If they exceeded those val-
ues then Inclinometer Calibration must be performed.
(See Fig 1.5)
39
FIG 1.5
NOTE: The level sensors must always be corrected
before a sensor head calibration can be done.
9. The numbers inside of the Red boxes are for the
CCD cameras. There are 8 CCD cameras in total 2
on each sensor head, one facing transverse and the
other facing longitudinal. The tolerance for this value
is 1080±20. So any value within 1060-1100 is accept-
able for calibration. If any of these values are outside
of tolerance then the CCD camera will need to manu-
ally readjusted. This can be accomplished by removing
the plastic covers and loosening the two Phillips head
screws that hold the CCD camera in place. Once the
screws are loose adjust the CCD camera until the value
is within the tolerance and then tighten the screws.
component inside of the sensor head has been re-
placed, a Sensor Head Calibration must be done. A
calibration can only be done correctly if all 16 of the
values highlighted on Fig 1.5 are adjusted within toler-
ance.
2. Inclinometer Calibration/Sensor
Head 5 degree calibration
Note: This procedure requires a calibration bar,sub bars,
and 5 degree level and a computer jumper.
This is the process used to calibrate the levels built into each
of the sensor heads. It should only be necessary if there are
abnormal readings in the caster/camber measurements, the
values are out of tolerance on the direct read screen, or if
the inclinometer vials/inclinometer board has been replaced.
1. Remove the plastic cover from the sensor by removing
the two lock knobs on the top of the sensor head and
the four Phillips head screws located on the rear of the
sensor.
NOTE: DO NOT DISCONNECT ANY WIRES!
2. Secure the sub bar to the main bar and the 5° level to
the sub bar. Completely level the sensor (both longitu-
dinally and transversely) on the sub bar of the calibra-
tion bar, another sensor will be needed to offset the
weight of the sensor that is being calibrated.
Block- The sensor heads must be placed on blocks to align
them with each other. It is important to make sure that the
sensor heads do not depress the micro switch on the bottom
of the sensor while on the blocks.

3. Jumper the two pins located next to the button on the

Inclinometer Board. The button is located next to the
three LEDs.

4. Press the button on the Inclinometer Board until the

Red LED lights up. The LEDs will flash a several times
and then shut off.

5. Tilt the sub bar on the main bar up 5 degrees towards

the sensor head being calibrated and press the button

on the Inclinometer Board until the Yellow light is lit up.
Wait until the Yellow LED shuts off. Symbols on the Main Bar- There are three symbols at
each edge of the main bar. When the bar is rotated from
6. Level the sub bar and then tilt the sensor up or down
5 degrees towards the CCD on the aluminum tube. If position 1 to position 3, it has been rotated the bar 180°.
it is a Right Front or Left Rear head tilt the sensor 5
degrees down. If it is a Left Front or Right Rear sensor
head tilt the sensor 5 degrees up. Press the button on
the Inclinometer Board until the Green LED is lit and
wait until it shuts off.

Note: If the level indicator reverses after this part of

the calibration, it needs to be calibrated in the other
direction.

7. Remove the jumper and reassemble the sensor head.

8. After the inclinometer board has been calibrated

a CCD camera calibration must be done. This is
done using the alignment software by going into
Management, then Maintenance, and finally Sensor
Head Calibration
3. Sensor Head Calibration
From the home screen click Management or press F11.
Select Maintenance or press F2. A prompt will appear
requiring the aligner software password entered.
Note: This procedure requires a calibration bar, 2
blocks, a section of cardboard and a 5 degree level.
Sensor head calibration sets the basis of measurement.
It is necessary to perform sensor calibration periodically
to maintain the accuracy of the alignment sensor heads.
Calibration is also required after changing any CCD sen-
sor, inclinometer sensor, inclinometer board, or sensor
head main board.
FIG 3.2
Note: When all four sensor heads are on the calibra-
tion bar, a piece of cardboard must be placed against
the main bar. This will prevent the sensor heads from
interfering with each other and solve most communica-
tion issues.
Step 1
Put the calibration bar on flat ground. Attach the main bar
to the upper notches of the stand. Rotate the main bar to
symbol 1 and lock it in that position. Once the main bar is
attached, level the main bar by adjusting the screws on the
stands. This should be done without the sub bars attached.
Once the main bar is leveled attach both sub bars. Mount,
lock and level all of the sensor heads. Use the 5° level to
level each sensor head transversely and longitudinally.
Step 2
Press F2 from the Aligner Maintenance Menu to access
the Sensor Calibration screen. The first screen to appear
is shown in FIG 3.3 (next page), the software will check the
sensors and a warning window will be displayed if there is a
communication issue.

40
During calibration, please make sure the measurement is
not affected by any interference. Avoid any surrounding
vibration, direct sunlight and other light reflections. Do not
walk around the stands in the course of calibration and be
careful not to stand too close to the sensor or block sensor
communication.

Overall calibration progress is displayed in the right prog-

ress bar shown on the calibration screen. See FIG 3.3.
The progress of the specific calibration step is displayed
in the left progress bar. If the progress bar on the left does
not seem to move for a long time a calibration error may
have occurred. Please re-check sensor communication.
If the problem is still nor resolved, please contact Ranger
Products Inc.

FIG 3.4

At this point all of the longitudinal CCD camera calibration

information has been gathered. Remove all sensor heads
and the two sub bars from the main bar. The next several
steps are for calibrating the transverse CCD cameras.

Step 4

Mount both front wheel sensors to the studs at the end of

the main bar. Rotate the main bar back to position 1, lock
and level both front sensor heads. Place the blocks about
1 meter behind the front sensors and put the rear sensor
heads on top of them making sure that they line up with their
corresponding front sensor head.

FIG 3.3

If the warning window is not displayed and the sensor heads

are level calibration may continue. Press Page Down or
click Continue to start the calibration and wait until the
progress bar on the left indicated that the measurement is
complete.
Step 3

Remove the sensor heads from the sub bars and set them
on the ground without changing their position. Unlock the
main bar and rotate it and the sub bars 180°, it should now
be in position 3. Reattach the sensor heads to the sub bars
and lock and level all of the heads. Once the heads are
completely level, press Page Down or click Continue and
wait until the progress bar indicates that the measurement
is complete. FIG 3.5

Note: The rear sensor heads must remain powered on

after placing them on the blocks, make sure the micro
switch located on the bottom of each of the sensor
heads are not depressed. The sensor heads must also
be placed in their normal relative position or a commu-
nication error will be displayed.

Once the front sensors are level and the rear sensor heads
have been placed on the blocks, press Page Down or click
Continue to begin calibration. Wait for the progress bar to
indicate that this step is complete.
Step 5
Unlock the sensors and rotate the main calibration bar 180°,
it should now be in position 3. Lock and level both front sen-
sor heads and press Page Down or click Continue to begin
calibration. Wait for the progress bar to indicate that this
step is complete and then remove both front sensor heads
from the main bar.
or click Continue to write the data into the sensors. The
process will take about 1 minute to complete and once
it is finished writing the program will return to the Aligner
Maintenance screen.

 Appendix 5: Toe Conversion Information
In Part I About the Aligner: 1. Introduction To Alignment Principles it was stated that Total Toe can be measured as both an
angle or by the difference of the distances between the rear of the tires at the tire centerline and the front of the same tires
at the tire centerline.

When adding new vehicle data the aligner program only accepts Toe in units of degrees of toe. If the inch values of toe
are obtained from Manufacturer’s toe specifications for a given outside tire diameter (not rim size) they can be converted
to an angular value using the following formula:

SIN-1(Decimal Inches/Tire Diameter) = Degrees of toe

For example:
Tire Diameter = 18”
Inches of Toe= 5/16” (.3125)
.3125/18 = .01736”
SIN-1(.01736) ≈ 1° Toe

If the manufacturer data are listed in degrees and minutes (i.e. 1°8’) the decimal degree value can be determined by divid-
ing the minutes by 60.

For example:
Manufacturer’s toe specification = 1°8’
8/60 = .1333
1° + .1333 = 1.1333° Toe
