Wheel Alignment Calculator

Analyze alignment angles and compare to specifications for optimal handling and tire wear.

Front Left Wheel

Camber (degrees) Negative = top tilts in

Toe (degrees) Positive = toe-in

Front Right Wheel

Camber (degrees)

Toe (degrees)

Caster (degrees) - Left / Right

Positive caster = steering axis tilts back at top

Vehicle Type

Typical Alignment Specs

Type	Camber	Toe (total)	Caster
Passenger	-0.5 to 0	0.1 to 0.2	3-5
Sport	-1.0 to -0.5	0 to 0.15	5-7
Truck/SUV	0 to 0.5	0.1 to 0.25	2-4
Track	-2.0 to -3.0	0 to -0.1	6-8

All values in degrees. Cross specs should be < 0.5 deg.

Understanding Wheel Alignment

Camber

Vertical tilt of the wheel. Negative camber (top in) improves cornering grip but causes inner tire wear. Positive camber (top out) is rare and causes outer wear.

Toe

Angle of wheels relative to centerline. Toe-in improves stability but causes feathered tire wear. Toe-out improves turn-in response but reduces straight-line stability.

Caster

Tilt of steering axis. More positive caster improves straight-line stability and steering return. Unequal caster causes pull to the side with less caster.
