of safe operating practices. Always wear durable work
clothing during any installation and/or service activity.
Shop aprons or shop coats may also be worn, however
loose-fitting clothing should be avoided.
Tight-fitting leather gloves are recommended to protect
the technician’s hands when handling parts. Sturdy
leather steel-toe work shoes and oil resistant soles should
be used by all service personnel to help prevent injury
during typical installation and operation activities.

ALIGNMENT ANGLES
When vehicle wheel alignment is considered, there are
three main angles that should not be ignored. These are:
CASTER, CAMBER, and TOE. While these are prevalent,
you should not overlook the other angles, because they will
provide you a method of troubleshooting when dealing with
a vehicle’s suspension.
In cases of a major change to a vehicle’s suspension, for
example due to repair, the alignment is typically performed
doing Caster first, then Camber, followed by Toe. If major
changes are made, all angles should be re-checked and
verified after adjustments have been made.
CAMBER ANGLE
Camber is the angular measurement of the outward or
inward tilt of the center-line of the wheel from true vertical
at the top of the wheel. Positive camber is defined as an
outward tilt from vertical, and negative camber would be an
inward tilt. Camber is a tire wearing angle, and is usually
adjustable.Incaseswhereafactoryadjustmentisnotavailable
often there are shims or kits to make adjustments possible.
MEASUREMENT METHOD
This angle is read from an electrolytic vial (or on some older
units, an electronic inclinometer) on each wheel unit.
WHAT CAMBER DOES
Camber helps to position the weight of the vehicle
over the point where the tire contacts the road, thus
placing the vehicle load on the inner wheel bearing.
NEGATIVE CAMBER
Negative Camber is used to ensure an even tire contact
duringcornering.Excessivenegativecambercancauseinside

POSITIVE CAMBER
Positive Camber is often used to induce understeer in
some cars during hard cornering where most drivers cannot
drive oversteer conditions that may be caused by negative
camber.Excessivepositivecamberwillcauseoutsidetirewear.

ADJUSTMENT METHODS
Shims, Cams, Slotted Frame, Strut Rotation, Wedges, Ball
Joint Rotation, Offset Bearing Plates, Cam Bolts, Offset
Bushings, Offset Ball Joints.
S.A.I. ( STEERING ANGLE INCLINATION )
ALSO KNOWN AS:
K.P.I. ( KING PIN INCLINATION )
B.J.I. ( BALL JOINT INCLINATION )
Steering Angle Inclination (S.A.I.) is the angular measure-
ment of the inward tilt at the top from true vertical of the
axis created by the front strut, ball joints, or kingpin of
the vehicle’s suspension. It is a non-adjustable angle. It
may, however, change when any adjustment for camber is
made. This will vary with different front suspension designs
(MacPherson strut, short/long arm, I Beam, solid axle, etc).
MEASUREMENT METHOD
S.A.I. is calculated from readings taken from the Camber/
Pitch level vial during the caster swing. S.A.I. does not con-
tribute directly to tire wear.
WHAT SAI DOES
S.A.I. aids in weight distribution particularly on turns. It
provides directional control stability and steering wheel
return along with Caster. S.A.I. is always a positive angle,
since by design a negative angle in not possible. S.A.I. may
also be called B.J.I. (Ball Joint Inclination) or K.P.I. (King
Pin Inclination).
INCLUDED ANGLE

11
The Included Angle is the sum of Camber and S.A.I. It is
actually this angle that is measured by the S.A.I. vial
during the caster swing.
MEASUREMENT METHOD
S.A.I. is calculated by subtracting the measured camber
from the included angle. See the examples shown below.
CAMBER = 2 INCLUDED ANGLE = 3
3 - 2 = 1 S.A.I.
CAMBER = -1 INCLUDED ANGLE = 3
3 - (-1) = 4 S.A.I.
Thus, the sum of the Camber and S.A.I. angles should equal
the included angle. Camber is measured on the front wheels
individually when each front wheel is swung to zero toe. This
ensures the high accuracy and repeatability of the camber
and S.A.I. readings.
WHAT IA DOES
I.A.isanother methodofSAI measurement andis often used
to determine damage to the frame, sub-frame, K-member or
suspension arms. I.A. is always a positive angle.
SCRUB RADIUS
Scrub Radius is defined as the distance between the
projected steering axis inclination (SAI) and the projected
Centerline of the wheel at the point where the tire contacts
the road surface. The point where the SAI angle intersects
the road is where the force is applied to the tire. If there is a
forward force of the vehicle (as it would be driving down the
road), and the SAI was projected to the inside of the tire, the
drag on the tire would tend to force the wheel outward. If the
force were on the outside of the tire it would force it inward.
Scrub radius is a design determined specification, and
not mechanically adjustable. However, if the scrub radius
is incorrect, tire wear and hard steering could result.
POSITIVE SCRUB RADIUS
Positive scrub radius is defined as a steering axis inboard
from the Centerline of the wheel (typical of Rear Wheel
Drive vehicles), and negative scrub radius would be a
steering axis outboard the Centerline of the wheel (typi-
cal of Front Wheel Drive Vehicles.) The Scrub radius will
change the effect that vehicle forces impose on the toe.
Positive Scrub Radius will tend to create a force moving
the wheels outward on a rear drive vehicle. Negative Scrub
radius creates a force that forces the wheels out on a front
wheel drive vehicle while under power. This is found on front
wheel drive vehicles using MacPherson Strut suspensions.
NEUTRAL SCRUB RADIUS
A Neutral or near zero scrub radius will reduce the effects of
these forces. For this reason wheel selection can be critical
particularly on a front wheel drive vehicle. The wrong wheel
offset can create a different scrub angle and destroy the
good handling of the vehicle and it cannot be compensated
for in the alignment.
The suspension design for scrub radius can often be seen
in the difference between front wheel drive and rear wheel
drive. On front drive the wheels typically have their mounting
surface toward the outside of the wheel making them more
flat looking from the outside. Rear wheel drive suspension
running a positive scrub radius will typically be dished.
CASTER ANGLE
Caster is the rearward or forward tilt of the steering axis from
true vertical.
This angle is primarily used for directional stability while the
vehicle is moving straight ahead.
Positive caster is defined as a rearward tilt at the top of the
steering axis and a negative caster is a forward tilt.
The point where the caster axis intersects level ground is
where the vehicle forces are projected. Most vehicles utilize
some amount of positive caster. This angle does not nor-
mally contribute to tire wear when the vehicle is within the
manufacturer’s specifications.
MEASUREMENT METHOD
Caster is calculated by the change in Camber reading over
a specific turning range of wheel from left to right. Caster
can only be measured on the front wheels.

12
WHAT CASTER DOES
A positive caster will aid in steering wheel return to a straight
ahead position. This is typically noticed following turns.
POSITIVE CASTER
If the angle is excessive (positive) steering will feel stiff
going into turns typically on vehicles without power steering.
NEGATIVE CASTER
Negative caster will allow turning into corners easier while
the vehicle is moving forward, however excessive nega-
tive caster will make the vehicle wander or cause it to be
unstable at speed while driving straight ahead.
ADJUSTMENT METHOD
Strut Rod, Shims, Cams, Slotted Frame, Strut Rotation,
Wedges, Ball Joint Rotation, Offset Ball Joints.
TOE
Toe us a design specification indicated by manufacturers to
achieve a “running toe condition” which provides directional
stability, low rolling resistance and optimum tire life.
MEASUREMENT METHOD
If dimension “B” is greater than dimension “A”, the vehicle is
defined to have “Toe In”.
Toe can be measured both as an angle or by the difference
between the “A” and “B” measurement. Though the method
of measurement differs depending on regions and vehicle
manufacturer’s specifications, it is becoming increasingly
common to measure toe as an angle.
WHAT TOE DOES
If “A” is greater than “B”, the vehicle has negative toe or
“Toe Out”. On rear wheel drive vehicles, the front wheels are
being pushed along the road, and normal road drag will act
to separate the front edges of the front wheels as the play
in the front end is taken up.
These rear wheel drive vehicles typically require some
amount of toe in, such that when drag acts to separate the
front wheels, the front ends track at zero toe. This assumes
a typical positive scrub radius.
On most front wheel drive vehicles, the torque on the front
wheels acts to pull the front edges of the front wheels
together (when a positive scrub radius exists). In this situa-
tion, some toe out will allow the front wheels to track at zero
toe. However, not all front wheel drive vehicles require toe
out, and the manufacturer’s specifications must always be
checked before any adjustments are made. This is due to
varying scrub angles which affect the toe dynamics while
the vehicle is driving down the road.
EXCESSIVE TOE
Toe is a common tire wearing angle. Excessive toe either
in or out will cause tire wear and unstable operation. When
the toe is extreme the vehicle will typically go in the direction
of the most loaded tire (or the one with the most traction),
meaning that as the vehicle goes over bumps it will dart
from one side to the other. This can also be due to bump
steer which is a different condition. Bump Steer is caused
when the toe angle changes as the vehicle suspension com-
presses expands.
ADJUSTMENT METHOD
Almost all vehicles use some form of Tie Rod Adjuster.
When toe is measured it represents the difference between
dimension “A” and “B. Dimension “A” is the distance from
the extreme front edge (centerline) of the left tire to the
extreme front edge of the right tire. Dimension “B” is the
distance from the extreme rear edge (centerline) of the left
tire to the extreme rear edge of the right tire. The toe present
on the vehicle is then (B - A). Toe measurements are read
as an angular measurement.

Preparation Before Alignment
Before starting wheel alignment and placing vehicle onto the
lift, the following inspection should be done on the Approach
Camera to make sure it has been activated.
1. Click “camera” icon located on the lower left side on the
homepage.
2. Remove camera cover. If you forget to take off the cover
you will not be able to see the vehicle approaching the
ramp.
3. If view is out of focus, loosen the camera fixed screw
with a Phillips screwdriver.
4. Use hand to turn the outside of lens slowly untill you
notice the image is clear. Turn clockwise or counter
clockwise to adjust as necessary.
5. After the camera lens has been adjusted, drive the
vehicle onto the lift, ensure that the front wheels are
centered with the turntables. Apply the hand brake to make
sure the car will not move. To prevent the turntables from
turning, lock the turntables with their respective lock pins
before driving the vehicle. You will be able to see the vehicle
on the screen.

PREPARATION BEFORE ALIGNMENT
INSTALLING CLAMPS AND TARGETS
After all equipment has been set up, drive the vehicle onto the lift making sure the front wheels are centered with the
turntables. Verify pins of turntables are locked. Apply vehicle brakes and place wheel chocks on the rear tires to ensure
maximum safety. Install the wheel targets and clamps according to the pictures shown below.
FRONT AND REAR TARGETS INSTALLATION
Check clamps are installed on the wheel and turn the top knob to lock the wheel clamp. The claws of the wheel clamp
should be fixed on the external edge of the rim. To install the targets, insert the locating pin of the targets in the groove of
clamps and rotate the targets until they are tilted forward towards alignment cameras. Incline the targets about 5 degrees
forward in relation to the vehicle. Make sure targets are locked on the clamps.

Cameras and Target Position
Make sure the cameras and all four targets are pointing in a
relative position and within the camera view field, otherwise
it will affect the measurement precision.
Automatic Lifting Camera Beam
The camera will trace the targets automatically and the
camera beam will follow the targets to adjust the correct
position; it can also be adjusted using the keyboard or
mouse. (NO< NO< NO)
Target Status
Operator will be able to see on the screen if all targets are
positioned in the correct camera view field by the colors
displayed on the screen. Blue and green mean the targets
are on the correct position and within the camera view field.
Yellow means the targets are off the camera view field and
out of the measurement range, the targets position should
be adjusted. Solution: Move camera crossbeam until targets
are correct color.
When installed correctly, the front targets will appear blue
on the screen and the rear targets will show green. (See
pictures below).
Adjusting Camera Beam
Fixed Camera Beam
Raise lift to proper height and position it on the locks. Unlock
fixed knobs on the camera crossbeam, run the software
program to target searching screen, adjust the camera
beam position according to the targets image on the screen.
When you see the front targets are blue and the rear targets
are green means the camera beam position is within
tolerance.
Explaining Camera LED Indicators
The LED indicators on the right and left camera beam
represent the four target status. Four LED indicators in red
means the targets are stopped or immobile, if the LED
indicator is red and flickering, this means the
corresponding target is blocked (line of sight), not working
correctly or not recognized by the system for any reason, as
illustrated below.
Left Front
Left Rear
Right Front
Right Rear

When the upper LED indicator on the left and right camera
is red and the underneath LED indicator is flickering green it
means push the vehicle towards the rear direction.
When the underneath LED indicator on the left and right
cameras is red and the upper LED indicator is green and
flickering, the vehicle should be pushed towards the front
direction.
If the two LED indicators on the left camera are red, and
the upper LED indicator on the right camera is green and
flickering and the lower indicator is red, you should turn the
steering wheel to the right.
If both low LED indicators on the right and left camera are
green and flickering, the steering wheel is in the middle
position.
When the two LED indicators on the right camera are red,
and the left camera shows a green flickering light on the top
and a red light underneath, this means you should turn the
steering wheel to the left.
If the LED indicators on both cameras are green and
flickering on the top, this means the steering wheel is in the
middle position.
Before Performing Alignment
Drive vehicle unto lift. Use approach for safe placement of
car on lift. To activate approach camera, remove camera
lens cover, go to main menu page and clic camera icon
located on the lower left corner of the screen.

Make sure the vehicle has been checked for the following:
1. All wheel rims and tires should match and tires should be
the same size.
2. Tread pattern should not be worn and all tires should
have the correct manufacturer’s specified air tire pressure.
3. Inspect and qualify condition of suspension components.
4. Gap between gear and steering lever (steering wheel
play).
5. Wheel rim offset.
6. Vehicle is properly loaded side to side..
7. Shake vehicle to allow suspension return to rest position.
8. Make sure the pins of turntable and slide slip insert cor-
rectly. The pins can’t take out until the vehicle drive on the
turntable and slide slip.
9. Install the pedal locker correctly.
Installing Clamps
Install the clamps and targets on the wheel rim. Turn the
center knob of the clamp to adjust its size to be suitable for
rim. Make sure the 4 claws of the clamp stick to the wheel
rim closely. Turn the knob of the clamp to fix it on the wheel
tightly.
