Literally the most concise and clearly explained alignment term video I’ve ever seen

[Xopher]

You could do a second video with steering axis inclination, scrub radius (offset), slip and ackermann's principle.

Just for quick reference: 0:05 Camber, 1:16 Toe, 2:20 Caster

I really wish this kind of video had come much earlier when I was younger. I would learn about alignment so much easier through this video rather than explanations from back them in games and other media. This video REALLY dumbed down the sheer essentials of what toe, camber, and front caster all represent.

Carthrottle, Donut Media, Chris Fix are major channels for all petrolheads

im currently learning about this in school and its so confusing when they explain it. this video definetly explained it alot better

Toe out on the front axle of rear wheel drive cars is generally only preferred for racing and competition purposes. Most street rear wheel drive cars have toe in on the front axel as well because they will naturally toe out during acceleration and at speeds so toe in adjust for this. This allows for greater stability when going in a straight line at speed but reduces cornering agility. Look at the recomended factory settings for pretty much any rear wheel drive car and they will recommend some degree of toe in on the front.

These 3 are vital to the perfect cornering and straighline performance

Wish everything was explained this detailed and quickly.

[limitablesnow]

Damn, this is probably the best explanation I've ever heard ty

[stefanwinter]

These videos give me a head start on all other guys in mechanic school!
I still don't know some things you talk about! Keep it up!

First saw this in NFS Pro Street and went off those explanations, here for something more in-depth. Thanks.

[aroundomaha]

That was helpful and concise; new sub! I recently dialed some rear toe out on my GTI to help rotation during autocross, so managing this balance is fresh in my mind.

Definitely a "positive caster" on the next wheel alignment for our 2017 ford super duty to help eliminate the small front end wobble we get when hitting bumps on the road...

[brianlopez]

Such a short video and best explanation

[TunedRAMS]

Perfectly explained! Thank you for this

[cozz]

i'm currently learning to tune cars in forza as it might help me learn to tune cars in real life in the future. thank you for posting this :]

[alsareal]

Thanks



Needed this for tuning my car in NFS ProStreet

[wobblestone]

And I thought perfectly zero camber, toe and caster is the perfect set up
