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 FIAT 500X
Since its introduction at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, Stellantis (previously Fiat Chrysler Automobiles) has manufactured and sold the Fiat 500X (Type 334), a subcompact crossover SUV. The 500X, which was introduced in 2014 (for the 2016 model year in the United States), is closely similar to the Jeep Renegade. Both are produced at the FCA SATA Plant in Melfi, Italy.
The 500X is built on the Small Wide 44 architecture, which evolved from the GM Fiat Small platform that underpins the Fiat Grande Punto and Fiat 500L.The Fiat 500X is offered with a variety of engines, with most offering optional all-wheel drive. Outside of North America, engines available at launch included one gasoline, the turbocharged 1.4 MultiAir2, and two MultiJet turbodiesels displacing 1.6 and 2.0 litres.
The Fiat 500X is available in North America with the following features:
A 1.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a six-speed manual transmission and only front-wheel drive is available. A 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine with a nine-speed automated transmission, front-wheel drive as standard and all-wheel drive as an option. (Source: Wiki)
