Wheel 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 Audi Q7
The Audi Q7 is a mid-size luxury crossover SUV manufactured by Audi that debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2005. The Volkswagen Bratislava Plant in Bratislava, Slovakia, began production of this seven-seater SUV in the autumn of 2005. It was Audi’s first SUV offering, and it went on sale in 2006. Audi’s second SUV, the Q5, was later revealed as a 2009 model. Since then, Audi has unveiled a third SUV model, the Q3, which went on sale in the third quarter of 2011, as well as a fourth SUV model, the Q2, which went on sale in November 2016. The Bentley Bentayga, Lamborghini Urus, Porsche Cayenne, and Volkswagen Touareg all share a Volkswagen Group MLB platform and chassis.
The Q7 (internally referred to as the Typ 4L) is built on a modified version of the Volkswagen Group PL71 platform. The Q7, which was previewed by the Audi Pikes Peak quattro concept car, is intended for on-road use and does not require a transfer case for serious off-road use. It performed well for a “soft roader” in an off-road test through the Australian outback. (Source:Wiki)
