How Do I Read a Wheel Alignment Report?
A wheel alignment report includes terms like camber (tilt of the wheels), toe (inward or outward angle of the wheels), and caster (angle of the steering axis). To read the report, compare these values to the recommended ranges for your vehicle, usually found in the owner’s manual. Understanding these terms and comparing the values helps ensure that your alignment is within the correct specifications, maintaining optimal vehicle performance.
