Wheel Alignment Tool
What exactly goes on during a front end wheel alignment?
Hello, I had my 1999 Camaro RWD get a wheel alignment. I never got one before and was curious and wanted to know what the guys were doing.
They put the car on a stand and then hooked it up to the computer.
Then they got tools and started working on the front end.
Lastly they did something with the steering wheel.
I am most curious and want to know what were they doing in the front of the car with the tools? It looked like they were struggling?
They make sure the wheels are flat on the groung, so they wear even, if not, you will see that the tire will wear out on one side, called camber.
Then they make sure the wheels are pointing forward, not towards each other or away from each other, this will keep the car from turning left or right , called taper if I remember correctly.
They then straighten the steering to make sure you will drive straight with the wheel straight across, for obvious reasons.
One thing they were struggling might be because they had to pull a suspension piece away from the car, but the car weight is on the suspension piece. Happened to me, had to lift a quarter of the cars weight like .12 inches higher.
