WHAT IS AN ALIGNER?

An aligner or wheel aligner is defined as a measurement
instrument detecting the characteristic alignment angles
of a vehicle (see description in the "Characteristic angles"
chapter).
An aligner consists of a central unit and four targets to
be applied to the vehicle wheels.
WARNING
Use of the aligner for any purpose other than its
original function releases the manufacturer from
all responsibility for any damage or injury that
may result.

CHARACTERISTIC ANGLES

1) TOE (Fig. 14 - 15 )
Toe is the angle between the equatorial plane of the
wheel and the axis of symmetry or the thrust axis of
the vehicle.
The axis of symmetry is an imaginary line that divides
the car into two halves longitudinally; the thrust axis
is the direction of travel of the rear axle.
The units of measurement for toe values are degrees
and millimetres (or inches).
2) CAMBER or inclination (Fig. 16)
Camber is the angle between the equatorial plane of
the wheel and the vertical plane;camber is positive
when the upper part of the wheel is angled away from
the vehicle.
The unit of measurement for camber values is degrees.
3) CASTER (Fig. 18 - )
Caster is the angle formed between the vertical and
an imaginary extension of the steering axis on the
longitudinal plane of the vehicle.
Caster is measured with the wheels turned through
10° or 20°. The unit of measurement for caster values
is degrees.
4) KING PIN (Fig. 17)
King pin is the angle formed between the vertical and
an imaginary extension of the steering axis on the
transversal plane of the vehicle. The king pin angle is
measured with the wheels turned through 10° o 20°.
The unit of measurement for caster values is degrees.
5) Steering angle difference.
(TOE-OUT ON TURN ) (Fig. 19)
Steering angle toe difference on the front wheels.The
angle is conventionally measured with the wheel on
the inside of the curve turned through 20°.
The unit of measurement for caster values is degrees.
6) SET BACK or misalignment of wheels on the
same axle (Fig. 20)
This measurement shows the difference in position of
one wheel with respect to the other on the perpendi-
cular of the longitudinal axis of the vehicle.
Set back is measured on the front and rear axles of the
vehicle;however, rear set back must not be confused
with the thrust angle.The unit of measurement for
caster values is degrees.
7) Thrust angle. (THRUST ANGLE) (Fig. 21)
This is the angle formed between the axis of symmetry
of the vehicle and the direction of travel of the rear
axle.The unit of measurement is degrees.
