Adjustment of wheels

In order that you could imagine better the concepts connected with adjustment of wheels, we represented it in drawing. At the left the convergence, in the middle negative disorder is explained, and on the right you see the image of a longitudinal inclination shkvornya.

 

Forward wheels to provide reliable behavior of the car, have to settle down under a certain corner in the lateral and longitudinal direction. In order that you got some idea about the concept "steering geometry", the explanation of concepts is provided here:

Track width: in Audi A4 forward wheels are at rest reduced a little more, than back. Thus say that track width "positive" or the car has "a convergence of wheels". The friction between a wheel and the road wrings out the left wheel to the left, and right to the right. It is somewhat leveled by forces of the forward drive which seek to pull together forward wheels. At turn of the car the convergence of forward wheels passes into "divergence". It becomes at the expense of a trapezoid arrangement of steering drafts: the wheel, internal in relation to turn, is developed more strongly, than external. It is also necessary as on turn internal wheels describe a smaller circle, than external.

Disorder: so the easy inclination of forward wheels to outer side – above in a wheel niche of Audi A4 between them smaller distance, than below at the earth is called. In language of professionals it is called as "negative" disorder.

Cross inclination: it is related to disorder. The cross inclination represents an insignificant inclination of an axis round which at control of car wheels together with a suspension bracket turn. Both cross axes have above smaller distance, than below.

Longitudinal inclination: understand an inclined arrangement of rotary axes in the longitudinal direction of the car as it. It also promotes stabilization of the rectilinear movement and does not allow fluctuation of forward wheels.
