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.
* Please note that these specifications are for general guidance only, and the specific alignment settings for a particular vehicle may differ depending on factors such as driving conditions and personal preference. 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 Panda
Since 1980, Fiat has been producing and selling their version of the city car known as the Fiat Panda, which is now in its third generation. Giorgetto Giugiaro and Aldo Mantovani of Italdesign were responsible for the design of the first generation Panda (Mk 1: 1980–1986 & Mk2: 1986–2003), which was released in 1980. It was a two-box, three-door hatchback that received an all-wheel drive variation in 1983. The first generation Panda was built from 1980 through model year 2003. Under a license from Fiat, SEAT of Spain marketed a variant of the first generation Panda. This vehicle was initially referred to as the Panda, but from 1986 to 1998, it was known as the Marbella.
The second model, introduced in 2003 as a 5-door hatchback, was designed by Bertone’s Giuliano Biasio and received the European Car of the Year award in 2004. The third generation Panda made its premiere at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2011. It was designed at Fiat Centro Stilo by Roberto Giolito and is still manufactured in Italy in Pomigliano d’Arco. (Source: Wiki)
