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 Cadillac Escalade-V
General Motors is responsible for the design and production of the full-size luxury SUV known as the Cadillac Escalade. It was Cadillac’s first significant foray into the sport utility vehicle (SUV) market. In response to the Mercedes-Benz M-Class, Range Rover, and Lexus LX, as well as Ford’s 1998 release of the Lincoln Navigator, Cadillac introduced the Escalade for the 1999 model year. This was done in order to compete with these other luxury SUVs.
In 2022, Cadillac introduced the Escalade-V, which was the company’s high-performance variant of the Escalade. On the American market, the largest performance SUV available is the Escalade-V from Cadillac. It comes equipped with a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine. The vehicle has a power output of 682 horsepower (509 kW; 691 PS), a torque output of 653 lb-ft (885 Nm), and a 10-speed manual automatic transmission. It can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour (0 to 97 km/h) in just 4.4 seconds. The starting price recommendation is at $149,000. In addition, the ESV model with a longer wheelbase will be made available for the V. (Source:Wiki)
