Fig. 1 Front Suspension Alignment Angles
Camber is the number of degrees the top of the
wheel and tire assembly is tilted inboard or outboard
from a true vertical line. Inboard tilt is negative cam-
ber. Outboard tilt is positive camber (Fig. 1).
Excessive camber is a tire wear factor: negative
camber causes wear on the inside of the tires tread
surface, while positive camber causes wear to the
outside of the tires tread surface. See Front Wheel
Drive Specifications for Camber. settings.
Toe is measured in degrees or inches and is the
distance the front edges of the tires are closer (or far-
ther apart) than the rear edges. See Front Wheel
Drive Specifications for Toe. settings.
