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 GMC Sierra Denali
Yukon Denali is distinguished from the normal Yukon by embossed side body panels and chrome surrounding the headlights. In 2001, the honeycomb pattern grille was introduced, which has since become synonymous with the Denali moniker. In 2001, the 6.0L V8 engine was introduced in the standard-size Yukon in the Denali model for $45,000.00, which it also shared with the Cadillac Escalade.
The engine initially generated 320 hp before being increased to 325 hp in 2003. 2001 also saw the introduction of a new updated interior as well as new choices like as 20-inch wheels.
The previous (2001-only) C3 model of the GMC Sierra pickup truck was rebranded Denali as a 2002 model in late 2001. The 2002-2004 Sierra Denali came standard with a 325 horsepower 6.0L V8, all-wheel drive, and General Motors’ Quadrasteer 4-wheel steering system.
Sierra Denalis with “Classic body style” were fitted with a 6.0L 345 HP V8 from 2005 to 2007. Furthermore, the trucks from 2005 to 2007 (2007 being the classic body type) were altered to a crew cab with a 5’8″ bed and did not have Quadrasteer like the Sierra Denalis from 2001 to 2004 did.
