Honestly, this whole series is top-notch. I want to be better informed just in general and to ask better questions when I bring my car to a mechanic, this works perfectly!

14:17 - Great explanations! Actually, back in the 1960s or earlier, when cars wore bias-ply tires, negative caster was more common than not, due to the dynamic geometry of bias ply tires at speed

Also older cars without power steering having lower caster spec made it easier to turn. 😊

@@daveshymske4392 Yes, and not to mention: NEGATIVE half a degree of caster in some cases. They said negative caster worked better with the specific pneumatic trail and contact patch particular to the bias tires of that time. Cars, particularly U.S. makes, were larger and heavier than from most other countries, and used that sheer mass to go straight down the road. Now, with cars averaging 1,000lbs lighter, smaller dimensions, and with larger, wider wheels and lower profile tires, more alignment angles are needed to achieve the same self-straightening and steering feel.

Hello, thanks so much for this video, I now have a clear view about wheel alignment. Quick question about Camber, do my front tires need to have the same camber as my rear tires? Looks to me my left rear tire is more than -1.5 degrees agle compare to my front wheels -5 degrees. Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I've replaced everything on my front suspension (including inner and outer tie rod ends and cv axles) with NAPA premium parts, went to get an alignment and new tires, after paying the technician they told me that my caster was out of spec on one side. The only info they offered was that the camber and caster is not adjustable. The car hasn't been in an accident. Any idea on what could be the cause of this?

@Ms. A The Shop Teacher…..Thank you for your efforts…🙏🏼 I have a question…..Does the Regular habit of rotating Steering wheel lock to lock…particularly of a stationary car (dry steering) …can it throws out alignment to some extent ?!! …..I have a thought that it might put stress on tie rods…and force them to go out of alighnment….please share your thoughts …🙏🏼

Great content. I have had an alignment done and the report shows all are in the green. However my steering wheel is not quite centered. Is there a separate adjustment that needs to be done to the steering wheel? Is that something I should ask them to do next time or should a mechanic always make sure that the steering wheel is aligned properly when an alignment is done? Thanks for your help!
@daveshymske4392
Жыл бұрын
The answer to your question would be yes ! Your alignment can be in spec with an off centered steering All alignment machines and vehicle specs have tolerances + or - to a certain degree so next time you get it checked tell the tech the wheel isn't centered and the toe setting can be adjusted to correct the issue. I've been a alignment tech for along time 38:+ yrs. . If you have a newer car the steering angle sensor will have to be re calibrated , but most alignment shops do that as well. Hope this helps you ! Good luck !

Very good video but toe in slightly is better than toe out slightly because when weight and acceleration is applied the wheels toe out a little which compensates the toe in and makes it just about perfect

SO I HAVE QUESTION i have an adjustable upper control arm as well as an adjustable toe link in the rear recently put a 2" lift and there is some negative camber my question is do i adjust the upper control or toe link or both

I apologize for the delayed comment. You would adjust both. Camber affects toe. You would adjust camber first, then toe.

It's the angle where the hub pivots during steering vs a vertical line in centre of the tyre/wheel.
