Wheel Alingment For Car: A Project Presentation On

This project presentation summarizes wheel alignment for cars. It discusses the importance of proper wheel alignment for eliminating tire wear and ensuring proper vehicle handling. It describes the key wheel alignment angles of camber, caster, and toe and how adjusting each angle can help address issues like tire wear or vehicle pull. The presentation provides objectives, types of alignments, details on each alignment angle, and concludes that proper wheel alignment increases tire life and mileage while improving safety and vehicle handling.

CONTENTS
 Introduction
 Objectives
 Types Of Alignment
 Wheel alignment angles
 Camber
 Caster
 Toe
 Steering axis inclination
INTRODUCTION
 Correct wheel alignment
1. To eliminate tire wear
2. To give vehicle proper handling
 Eliminate pull, drift, wander, stiff steering and poor
steering return ability
Objectives
 Describe each wheel alignment angle
 Tell which alignment angles causes wear or pull
Three types of alignments
 Geometric centerline (2 wheel) (POOR)
 Aligns front wheels to center of vehicle
 Thrust angle (2 wheel) (GOOD)
 Aligns front wheels to thrust angle
 Total alignment (4 wheel) (BEST)
 Aligns all 4 wheels to geometric centerline
 Not possible on all vehicles
Before alignment
 Always check steering and suspension components
for wear
 Including wheel bearings
 Always check tire pressure
 A low tire may cause pull
 Always check tire condition
 Tyre wear will indicate possible problems
 Try to duplicate the complaint if possible
Camber
 Inward or outward tilt of the top
of the tire
 Outward tip is positive / Inward
tip is negative
 If excessive (about 1 1/4 degree
off) positive or negative, camber
will cause tire wear
 May cause pull to most positive
side
 Maximum cross camber usually
.5deg
Caster

 Forward or rearward tilt of the


steering axis
 Forward is negative \ rearward
is positive
 Positive gives steering stability
and returnability
 Negative decreases turning
effort
 May cause pull to most
negative side
 Maximum cross caster usually
.5deg
Toe
 Difference between the
front and rear of the tires
 Toe in or positive toe means
the front of the tires are
closer than the rear of the
tires
 Toe out or negative toe
means the rear of the tires
are closer than the front of
the tires
Tyre wear and wheel alignment-
Camber and caster adjustments
 If adjustments are possible, it will usually be at
only one pivot point
 Camber and caster are often adjusted together
Toe adjustment
 Always performed as last adjustment
 Adjusted by effectively lengthening or shortening
tie rods
 Some vehicles have only one adjustable tie rod
 Sometimes toe is only adjustment possible
Steering axis inclination(SAI)
Defination-

 SAI a line drawn through the


steering axis, as viewed from
the front
 SAI allows smaller camber
angles but keeps load on
inboard of spindle
 SAI moves spindle in arc like
caster
 Included angle is the total of
SAI + camber
Advantages-

1. Directional stability during straight ahead


position.
2. Perfect rolling condition on steering.
3. Recovery after completing the run.
4. Save on tyre.
5. Improve driving safety.
6. Improve car handling.
Conclusion-

 Increases the tire and the reduction of the tire


wear in vehicle.
 Mileage of the can increases.
 Increaes the tire life(upto 20,000km).
