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 R8 Coupé
The Audi R8 is a two-seater sports car with a mid-engine and Audi’s trademark quattro permanent all-wheel drive system. Audi AG, a German automobile manufacturer, first introduced it in 2006.
Audi Sport GmbH (formerly quattro GmbH), Audi AG’s private subsidiary company manufacturing high performance automotive parts, designed, developed, and manufactured the car, which is based on the Lamborghini Gallardo and now the Huracán platform.
The R8’s basic structure is based on the Audi Space Frame, and it employs an aluminum monocoque built using space frame principles. Audi Sport GmbH constructs the car in a newly renovated factory at Audi’s ‘aluminium site’ in Neckarsulm, Germany. It is also the first production vehicle to feature full-LED headlamps.
The Audi R8, which was inspired by the Audi Le Mans quattro concept car (designed by Frank Lamberty and Julian Hoenig), debuted at the 2003 International Geneva Motor Show and the 2003 Frankfurt International Motor Show. On September 30, 2006, the R8 road car was officially unveiled at the Paris Auto Show. The name, which the car shares with the 24 Hours of Le Mans-winning R8 Le Mans Prototype, caused some confusion (LMP). (Source:Wiki)
