Alignment Parameters
1. Camber: Camber is the angle of the wheels when viewed from the front or rear of the vehicle. A wheel that is tilted inward has negative camber, while a wheel that is tilted outward has positive camber. Camber can affect tire wear, handling, and steering.
2. Caster: Caster is the angle of the steering axis when viewed from the side of the vehicle. A positive caster angle means that the steering axis tilts towards the rear of the vehicle, while a negative caster angle tilts towards the front. Caster can affect steering stability and the returnability of the steering wheel to center.
3. Toe: Toe refers to the angle at which the front or rear wheels are tilted inward or outward when viewed from above. If the wheels are tilted inward, this is called “toe in,” while if the wheels are tilted outward, this is called “toe out.” Toe can affect tire wear, handling, and steering.
4. Thrust Angle: The thrust angle is the angle between the vehicle’s centerline and the rear axle’s geometric centerline. It is measured by comparing the direction that the rear wheels are pointing to the centerline of the vehicle. The thrust angle can affect vehicle stability and how straight the vehicle drives. A thrust angle that is not perpendicular to the centerline of the vehicle can cause the vehicle to pull to one side.

It’s always best to consult a professional mechanic or alignment specialist for the most accurate recommendations for your vehicle.
Wheel Alignment Brief Information
Wheel alignment is the process of adjusting the angles of the wheels so that they are perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other. Proper wheel alignment is important for several reasons, including:
1. Safety: Properly aligned wheels help ensure that a vehicle travels in a straight line and handles properly, reducing the risk of accidents.
2. Tire Wear: Misaligned wheels can cause uneven tire wear, reducing tire life and requiring more frequent replacements.
3. Fuel Efficiency: When wheels are misaligned, the vehicle may have to work harder to maintain speed, which can result in decreased fuel efficiency and increased costs.
4. Ride Comfort: Properly aligned wheels can result in a smoother ride and better handling, improving overall ride comfort.
About Acura RLX
The Acura Legend was a very successful vehicle in establishing Acura as a separate division, and when combined with Integra sales, Acura outsold long-standing luxury marques BMW and Mercedes-Benz, as well as Toyota’s new luxury division Lexus. The successor RL, on the other hand, sold below expectations due to a relatively small interior for its size, the lack of a V8 performance engine option and a better handling rear-wheel drive experience, and/or being relatively expensive in comparison to its rivals.
Acura debuted the RLX Concept, a replacement for the RL sedan, at the 2012 New York International Auto Show on April 4, 2012. The production model, which differed little from the concept, was unveiled globally later that year at the Los Angeles Auto Show. On March 15, 2013, the RLX went on sale. The RL was phased out of production at the Saitama plant on June 16, 2012, to make way for the RLX. The RLX is available in two configurations: a front-wheel drive base model with All-Wheel Steer (P-AWS) four-wheel steering system and a hybrid variant with SH-AWD as Acura’s flagship.
