Wheel Alignment | St Augustine FL | Feldman Auto

Wheel alignment refers to the angle of your wheels in relation the vehicle. When properly aligned all wheels have the correct specfications as per the vehicles manufactorer. Without proper alignment, the wheels can be pitched inward or outward opposing each other, causing unneccessary wear on front end componants. Alignments can also affects gas mileage and tire wear. Uneven tire wear is the most common indicator that your vehicle needs an alignment.

At Feldman Auto Repair we offer free alignment inspection that take less than 10 minutes with an appointment. Using the State-Of-The-Art Hunter Hawk Eye Elite Alignment system we are able to provide accurate readings in less time, allowing us to be able to do the right job the first time and every time. These include both adjustable and non-adjustable angles. (Non-adjustable angles require repair or replacement of the suspension component.) The most common adjustable angles are:

Toe

This refers to the tilted direction of the wheels toward or away from one another when viewed from the top. Toe is the most critical tire wearing angle. Tires that “toe-in” point toward one another. Tires that “toe-out” point away from each other.

Camber

This refers to the tilt of the wheels toward or away from one another when viewed from the front. Wheels that tilt in toward the vehicle have “negative camber.” Wheels that tilt away from the vehicle have “positive camber.”

Caster

This refers to the angle of the steering axis in relation to an imaginary vertical line through the center of the wheel when viewed from the side. “Positive caster” is the term used when the vertical line is tilted back toward the rear. If it’s tilted forward, we call it “negative caster.” The proper caster angle stabilizes your car for better steering.

Thrust Angle

This refers to the relationship of all four wheels to each other, as well as their relationship to an imaginary center line that runs from bumper to bumper. The term “thrust line” refers to the direction in which the rear wheels are pointed. Thrust angle is correctable on cars with adjustable rear suspensions. If your car has a non-adjustable suspension, thrust angle is compensated for by aligning the front wheels to the rear wheels.
