Understanding Automotive Alignment Angles

Front

What is the primary purpose of adjusting the camber angle in a vehicle's wheel alignment?

Back

To improve steering stability

Front

Which of the following best describes a positive camber angle?
Options:
The top of the wheel is tilted inward,
The top of the wheel is tilted outward,
The wheel is perfectly vertical,
The wheel is tilted forward

Back

The top of the wheel is tilted outward

Front

What effect does a negative camber angle have on a vehicle's handling?

Back

It enhances cornering performance

Front

The caster angle is primarily associated with which aspect of vehicle dynamics?

Back

Steering stability

Front

A positive caster angle is characterized by which of the following? The steering axis tilts forward, The steering axis tilts backward, The steering axis is vertical, The steering axis is horizontal

Back

The steering axis tilts backward

Front

What is the primary effect of a negative caster angle on a vehicle?

Back

Easier low-speed steering

Front

Which angle is defined as the difference in the direction the wheels are pointing compared to the centerline of the vehicle?

Back

Toe angle

Front

What is the effect of a toe-in alignment on a vehicle's handling?

Back

It improves straight-line stability

Front

Which of the following describes a toe-out alignment?
The front of the wheels are closer together than the rear
The rear of the wheels are closer together than the front
The wheels are perfectly parallel
The wheels are tilted inward

Back

The rear of the wheels are closer together than the front

Front

In which scenario might a mechanic recommend a toe-out alignment?

Back

To enhance cornering agility
