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 BMW M2 Competition Coupé
The M2 made its debut at the North American International Auto Show in January 2016 after first appearing in Need for Speed in November 2015. The M2 was only offered as a rear-wheel drive coupé when production started in October 2015 and the first deliveries were made in early 2016. The 3.0-liter N55B30T0 straight-six turbocharged engine that powers the M2 is rated at 272 kW (365 hp) at 6,500 rpm and 465 Nm (343 lb-ft) between 1,450 and 4,750 rpm. An overboost function temporarily boosts torque to 500 Nm (369 lb-ft). The M2 weighs 5 kg (11 lb) less thanks to lighter front and rear suspension parts made of aluminum and reinforced pistons.[6] A 6-speed manual or a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission are both options for the M2. 0-100 km/h acceleration times for vehicles with manual transmissions are 4.5 seconds, while they are 4.3 seconds for vehicles with 7-speed dual clutch transmissions. The maximum speed is 250 km/h (155 mph), but with the optional M Driver’s package, it can be increased to 270 km/h (168 mph). Throughout the 2016 MotoGP season, the M2 served as a safety car.
