Wheel alignment

Camber and toe-in of a car are the main suspension adjustment parameters that equally affect the vehicle’s handling. A car with improper wheel adjustment is dangerous during operation. At the same time, the correct adjustment, which optimizes the camber and toe-in of the wheels, contributes to better handling of the car, increases the functionality of the suspension and tires.

Diagnostics and adjustment of camber and toe-in of the wheels

As for toe-in, it is characterized by the angle between the plane of rotation of the wheel and the vector of motion. Positive toe-in is the rotation of the front edge of the wheel inward, negative – outward. Often it is about the total camber of both wheels on the axle.

And the camber that a car has is the angle between the plane of rotation of the wheel and its vertical. A negative indicator is a situation when the upper edge of the wheel is tilted inward, and a positive indicator is outward.

In any case, if there are significant deviations from the norm of the angles between the plane of rotation of the wheels and the direction of movement, as well as the difference in distances between the front and rear points of the disks, the car’s camber should be adjusted.

How to solve the problem?

You can always check the camber in Kyiv at the Auto Master auto center, which is a certified service center that provides a full range of services for maintenance and repair of the most popular models of VAG group cars. At the same time, the qualification of the center’s specialists and the level of equipment used contribute to the performance of all work with a convincingly high result.

By default, suspension adjustment should be performed after every 20,000 kilometers of mileage, during seasonal tire changes and at the end of system repair. However, there are a number of objective reasons that will necessarily require checking the camber more promptly. These include:
