Wheel alignment unit


Recommended Posts

What is unit used for wheel alignment?

 

I have table with data but it looks like some encoding issue.

Unit looks like big 'A' letter with dash over it and has little circle on the right (degrees).

I checked the pdf file using windows and linux and on both looks the same.

Examples below:

Left Front Caster (°)

They are angles measured in degrees.  That's what the 

o  symbol means.

Good description of each and where they are measured here: https://explorationoutfitters.com/pages/caster-camber-toe-explained#:~:text=Camber %26 Toe Explained-,Caster%2C Camber %26 Toe Explained,slope of the steering axis.&text=This ensures good stability%2C helps,as viewed from the front.

There is always one more issue;)

 

Equipment used by my mechanic needs degrees and minutes (1/60) but data in table above looks like using metric values (1/100), e.g.: value: 3.67.

Does anybody can confirm that it is enough to multiply 60 by part after the dot, e.g.: 3.67 will be 3 degrees and 0.67 * 60 = 40.2 minutes?

 

Or maybe somebody has data using degrees and minutes?
