Maintaining the correct four-wheel alignment angle ensures the stability of the vehicle's movement and reduces tire wear.
Page 43 WA913 User Manual 4.57. The different angles can change the contact point and force point between the tire and the ground, directly affecting the tire's grip and wear condition, and changing the distribution of weight on the axle, avoiding abnormal wear of the bearings. In addition, the existence of the camber can be used to counteract the angular changes caused by the deformation of the suspension system components and the clearance between the moving surfaces after the vehicle body is subjected to loads.
Page 44 WA913 User Manual force between the vehicle weight and the ground will generate a large lateral shear stress on the axle, which can easily damage the axle and make the steering heavy. In addition, the kingpin inclination is also the source of the steering return force of the front wheels. The kingpin inclination has been set at the beginning of the vehicle suspension design and is usually non-adjustable.
Page 45 WA913 User Manual Figure 4.61 Figure 4.62 4.8.7 Thrust angle Thrust angle is defined as a angle formed by the bisector (thrust line) of the total toe-in angle of the rear wheels and the geometric centerline (see Figure 4.62). It is generally specified that the value is positive when the thrust line is leftward and negative when the thrust line is rightward.
Page 46 WA913 User Manual Figure 4.64 Figure 4.65 4.8.10 Track width difference Track width difference refers to the angle formed by the line connecting the front left wheel and the contact point with the ground, and the line connecting the rear left wheel and the contact point with the ground (also known as the wheel track width deviation).
Page 47 WA913 User Manual 4.8.13 Delay (angle) The relative offset in the longitudinal direction of a car between the two wheels on the same axle is referred to as "delay". When the right wheel on the front (rear) axle is behind the left wheel, the front (rear) delay is a positive value;...
