Wheel Alignment; Toe-In; Camber - SSANGYONG 2004 Rexton 2.7XDi Workshop Manual

WHEEL ALIGNMENT

The first responsibility of engineering is to design safe
steering and suspension systems. Each component must
be strong enough to with stand and absorb extreme punish-
ment. Both the steering system and the front and the rear
suspension must function geometrically with the body
mass.
The steering and suspension systems require that the front
wheels self-return and that the tire rolling effort and the
road friction be held to a negligible force in order to allow
the customer to direct the vehicle with the least effort and
the most comfort.
A complete wheel alignment check should include mea-
surements of the rear toe and camber.

Toe-in

Front side
Toe-in is the turning in of the tires, while toe-out is the turning
out of the tires from the geometric centerline or thrust line.
The toe ensures parallel rolling of the wheels.
The toe serves to offset the small deflections of the wheel
support system which occur when the vehicle is rolling forward.
The specified toe angle is the setting which achieves-degrees
"0°" of toe when the vehicle is moving.
Incorrect toe-in or toe-out will cause tire wear and reduced
fuel economy. As the individual steering and suspension com-
ponents wear from vehicle mileage, additional toe will be
needed to compensate for the wear. Always correct the toe
dimension last.

Camber

Tire center-
line
Camver (+)
Camber is the tilting of the top of the tire from the vertical
when viewed from the front of the vehicle. When the tires
tilt outward, the camber is positive. When the tires tilt
inward, the camber is negative. The camber angle is mea-
sured in degrees from the vertical. Camber influnces both
directional control and tire wear.
If the vehicle has too much positive camber, the outside
shoulder of the tire will wear. If the vehicle has too much
negative camber, the inside shoulder of the tire will wear.
Camber is measured in degrees and is not adjustable.
