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, 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.
