1、Main pin backward tilting angle
This angle is assured by way of the designed configuration, which makes the operational
adjustments unnecessary.
The impacts of backward tilting angle
The major function of the backward tilting angle is to keep the car moving in the
straightly forward direction. If the backward tilting angle is positive, the inner side of the
car will be lowered when the front wheel turns in directions, which results in the uprising
of the chassis. That will increase the loads onto the knuckles. If the backward tiling angles
of the two wheels are identical, the car will be back to the straightforward direction after
turning the directions. The increase of the positive backward tilting angle will increase the
stability of the steering wheel, but the turning forces will be increased as well. The decrease
of the positive backward tilting angle will reduce the stability of the steering wheel but the
turning forces will become reduced. The extent of the backward tiling angles will not have
impacts upon the tears and wears of the tires. They are used to stabilize the driving
directions and ensure the automatic returning to the straightforward direction after turning.
If the car is equipped with the traditional mechanic steering devices, the backward tilting
angle will be very small or even tending to be in the negative, which makes the turning of
direction easier. If the car is equipped with the dynamic steering device, the backward tiling
angle is generally set to be relatively large positive angle, which allows the driver to feel
the turning of directions. The increase of the positive backward tiling angle will increase
the forces for turning, and increase the stability in straightforward movement of the car.
2、Camber angle
Under normal circumstances, the camber angle does not have to be adjusted after the car
is equipped with the independent suspension system and wheel knuckles. In the case that
the wheel camber angle is detected to have bias from the allowances due to some reasons,
