Wheel alignment explained & animation: camber, caster toe | toe in toe out explained

Wheel alignment animation/Camber caster toe/Steering axis inclination/Positive negative camber/Positive negative caster/Toe in toe out explained
This video introduces wheel alignment. Wheel alignment is basically to measure and adjust several complex suspension angles including camber, caster and toe angle. The contents include:
1) Camber: Positive camber; negative camber; steering axis inclination; scrub radius.
2) Caster: Positive caster, negative caster.
3) Toe: Toe in, toe out.

Wheel alignment animation: Camber caster and toe - Steering axis inclination Thanks for your support. If the animation was helpful, remember to give it a "thumbs up" and consider subscribing 👏. Please feel free to share the video via the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYetZGywjJWegMk

Thank you! Now I can get back to tuning my car in Forza.

[@hughmarkestill6941]

This is by far the most informative video on front end alignment. Thanks

[@icandoit4284]

Woow this is by far the best video I ever seen on KZbin explaining this topic.

[@animatedengineering8571]

Thanks for your support. Glad it helped, we will release more animated videos to explain complex engineering principles in a simple way😀

[@ramadhanisme7]

Another great yet simple explanation video

[@jonathonpoloski917]

I will say, this js a great video that could help someone understand these afjustments better, and the physics of what a cars suspension actually does under certain loads.

[@whitrobinson]

This was so helpful! Thank you!

[@budthecyborg4575]

I'm starting to understand why suspension can make such a big difference in lap times. Keeping the tires in full contact with the road in both cornering and straight line is nearly impossible, but the people who get closest to keeping the tires level at all times will have a huge traction advantage.

[@animatedengineering8571]

Thanks for your support. Glad it helped. We will release more visual representations to help understand complex engineering principles😀

[@benadventure4144]

Great graphics and example animations

[@raianansari5794]

Very informative

[@amandachen432]

Thanks! Keep going!

[@gypsyheart2969]

Awesome video and explanation..keep up .Thanks 👍

[@bluewanderer9903]

Very nice, thanks 👍

Shopping carts are NEGATIVE caster

[@anonymous..-]

Your mom has negative caster.

[@itzed]

😂

[@jonathonpoloski917]

Dude shopping carts annoy the hell out of me now. 😆😆 Especially the Walmart ones. It's like buying a Buick LeSabre from someone who lived in a trailer park.

[@MrBrandon024]

Thank you. I thought the same thing when I saw the picture.

[@210david52]

Cool video and animation I learned a lot you earned a new subscriber can’t wait for new vids!

[@animatedengineering8571]

Thanks for your support. We will release more animated videos to explain complex engineering principles in a simple way😀

[@mahesh3776]

Very interesting, thanks for sharing.

[@animatedengineering8571]

Thanks for your support. Glad it helped, we will release more future animated videos on engineering principles😀

[@Hybridplus1350]

Tnx for your awesome video

[@animatedengineering8571]

Thanks for your support. We will release more car parts videos in the near future. Stay tuned for more content 😃

[@PatRick-rm6dh]

The caster wheel on shopping carts are an extreme case - the system is undamped but stable, as the wheel oscillates around the "correct" path. The construction has relatively high trail, but no caster, which allows changing of direction with minimal force.

[@brokeboyracing4815]

Good video except the caster part. The shopping cart 🛒 has negative caster, not positive caster and your wheel/strut visuals of what positive and negative caster are don’t show which direction is the front of the vehicle so it kinda defeats the purpose of saying this or that is positive or negative because there’s no way of telling which is which unless you know what side is the front of the vehicle.

[@jesusgollaz7724]

On the caster illustration or image, you see the exhaust system tips at the bottom. I think I can tell what’s the front. Hope that helps.

[@marceloespinoza3980]

Thank you very much for the explanation Now I can fine Tune my cars in Need For Speed ProStreet

[@jovygacia7067]

What is the good camber alignment for daily use?

[@gomdigogo2938]

3:39, unlikely it looks like the contact patch is in front of steering axis😢

[@codiacmulletmulletlife9477]

the shopping cart has negative castor, not positive

[@SledPemberton]

Positive caster is where the tire contacts the ground is behind the ball joint axis. shopping carts are positive

[@abhinandanrocks]

Is it ok if left tyre has negative camber of -0.15 and right with positive 0.16 ? . Is it necessary to have both tyre either negative or positive camber value ?

[@2seep]

Front and rear sets of tires can be different, however both the front set of tires must have the same camber, and the rear set must have the same, the front set can be different from the rear. If there is a difference in settings in the front set it can cause excess tire wear, and weird and unstable steering

[@dorianallisongrey]

Can someone please tell me how a positive camber on all tires will affect your car or am I just going to have to find out myself

[@Hoca88]

Thank you for the great Video !! I have a quick question. From the example with shopping cart, I thlught the caster was negative. But in the video it comes as an example of the positive caster. Could you please correct me?

[@SledPemberton]

Positive caster is where the tire contacts the ground is behind the ball joint axis

[@leverguy]

3:30 Wouldn't the front wheels of a shopping cart be negative caster?

[@ESport211]

on my left rear wheel, my tire is experiencing negative camber.

[@Forroja]

How i explain caster is the forward or rearward tilt of the steering axis from vertical. Rearward tilt is positive and forward tilt is negative.

[@nc-pf3qm]

please use human voice ,ur videos are good.

[@joseanshadow]

Won't the shopping card have negative caster?

[@umangu]

You’re thinking of the Tyre contact point relative to where the axis is connected to the cart. Rather think of the Tyre contact point relative to the axis itself. If a line is drawn through the steering axis to the ground, and that point is forward of the tire contact point, then the caster is positive.

[@reshidomer3916]

I recently started -a wheel alignment shop, these visions are explained in a simple version, so I like to translate them into my language . is it normal ??

@animatedengineering8571 now do one about the mechanics of an electric shopping cart like a Tespole or a Polela...

[@rajeshsayal2015]

MY VEHICLE STARTS TUMBLING WHEN CROSSED ABOVE 50 KMP,

[@yodagoba2671]

GOOD video, GOOD speech/voice speed and clarity, BUT, BUT, why you need to add ANNOYING MUSIC ???

[@woodsie5474]

I REALLY agree. I'm in my 70's, and music makes it very hard for me to hear the words. If you really need music, about 1/3rd the volume should do it.

[@Forroja]

As far as I'm concerned shopping carts are negative camber.

[@AbrahamG.99]

Me trying to understand need for speed pro street

[@deconteesawyer5758]

I know it would be hard, but can you find some more annoying background noise to blast us with ? It currently takes about 15 seconds to want to jam an ice pick in the ears to make it stop. Surely you can shorten up the suffering.

[@animatedengineering8571]

Thanks for the suggestion. We have noticed the noise and have lower the volume of the background music in our recent videos :)

[@korovkami9158]

@@animatedengineering8571 use less or softer rhythmic sound. Rhythm hoards attention

[@all4christnofilter915]

If you remove that background music, it’d be more beneficial and understandable for some to focus on the content, especially those that are new to the materiL

[@alvisumbrasko3299]

Turn volume off bro

[@Peter-nh5hv]

I hate that background music... no music is best

[@dimitriberozny3729]

Front and all wheel drive vehicles don’t have caster!!!

[@chickendave9499]

How about a human voice. I'm not a robot.

[@animatedengineering8571]

Thanks for the suggestion. We will consider to use human voice in our future videos😃
