Incorrect Thrust Angle (Dogtracking)




Wheel Alignment Angles

Camber and toe are adjustable on the front suspension systems. Front camber is adjusted through the use of a service repair kit (3C396). Caster is preset at the factory and should only be adjusted, through the use of a service repair kit (3C396), after all other possible sources have been inspected and corrected as necessary. Front toe is adjusted by the use of the front wheel spindle tie rod.


Incorrect Thrust Angle (Dogtracking)










Incorrect thrust angle (also known as dogtracking) is the condition in which the rear axle is not square to the chassis. Heavily crowned roads can give the illusion of dogtracking.
