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 XT6
The XT6, which stands for “Crossover Touring 6,” is Cadillac’s third crossover SUV. It is also the largest model in the XT series, which includes the XT5 and the full-size Escalade SUV. GM’s plant in Spring Hill, Tennessee is responsible for the production of the XT6, while the SAIC-GM factory in Shanghai is in charge of producing the XT6 for the Chinese market. In February of 2020, the XT6 was made available for purchase in Russia. Additionally, it went on sale in Japan at the beginning of 2020 with a single trim level, seating for six people, and a configuration that featured left hand drive.
The wheelbase of the Cadillac XT6 is shared by the mid-size GMC Acadia, the Cadillac XT5, and the Chinese version of the Chevrolet Blazer. Despite the fact that the XT6 is the high-luxury counterpart to the mid-size 3-row Chevrolet Traverse and the Buick Enclave in the crossover SUV segment, the XT6 shares its wheelbase with these other vehicles. Cadillac considers the XT5 to be their primary offering in the mid-size CUV segment, and thus refers to the XT6 as a “mid-size plus” vehicle. (Source:Wiki)
