Four-wheel positioning installation
Four-wheel positioning installation refers to the process of setting and adjusting the alignment angles of all four wheels of a vehicle. This is typically done by a professional technician using specialized equipment to ensure that the wheels are properly aligned according to the manufacturer's specifications.During a four-wheel positioning installation, the technician will measure and adjust several key alignment angles, including:
1.Camber: The inward or outward tilt of the wheels when viewed from the front of the vehicle.
2.Toe: The angle at which the wheels point inward or outward when viewed from above.
3.Caster: The forward or backward tilt of the steering axis when viewed from the side.
4.Thrust angle: The angle at which the rear wheels align with the centerline of the vehicle.
1.Safety: Correct alignment ensures that all four wheels are working together, providing optimal control, stability, and braking performance.
2.Tire Wear: Improper alignment can cause uneven tire wear, reducing tire lifespan and potentially leading to premature tire failure.
3.Fuel Efficiency: When wheels are properly aligned, there is less rolling resistance, which can improve fuel efficiency.
4.Handling and Comfort: Properly aligned wheels contribute to a smoother and more comfortable ride, as well as improved handling and responsiveness.
