Thrust Angle (Deviation From Direction of Travel), Calculating


Thrust angle (deviation from direction of travel), calculating





- If alignment readings for rear toe are both positive or both negative (+/+ or -/-), subtract smaller figure from larger figure to determine total toe angle, and then divide by 2





Thrust angle (deviation from direction of travel) = 5/

- If alignment readings for rear toe are different signs, one positive and one negative (+/-), add two figures to determine total toe angle, then divide by 2





Thrust angle (deviation from direction of travel): 10 /
The result is the deviation of the actual running direction from the longitudinal center line of the vehicle.
