Introduction of 3D Four-wheel Alignment Information
As the alignment between the four wheels, the steering mechanism, and the vehicle’s front and rear axles must maintain a specific relative position, this position is a standard value set by the manufacturer. The process of adjusting to restore this alignment is known as four-wheel alignment.

When to Perform Four-Wheel Alignment
- The vehicle’s driving performance is affected (the most direct sensation for the driver is the vehicle pulling to one side, or the steering wheel not returning to center automatically).
- Damage to the chassis and suspension caused by an accident.
- Abnormal tire wear (consider whether abnormal tire pressure might cause this. Generally, too high tire pressure will increase central tread wear, while too low tire pressure will increase wear on both sides of the tread. If there’s wear on one side, it could indicate a camber angle deviation).
- The axle and parts of the suspension have been removed.
Four-Wheel Alignment Data to Be Adjusted
- Kingpin Camber
– Role: Ensures straight-line stability and proper steering return.
- Kingpin Inward Camber
– Role: Provides stability and aids in steering return.
- Wheel Camber (Negative Camber)
– Role: Increases tire contact surface to offset adverse effects.
- Toe (Front Spread)
– Function: Offsets the adverse effects caused by wheel camber (internal camber).
How to Determine the Result of Four-Wheel Alignment Adjustment
Test driving the car is the most intuitive method. Compare the drive with previous discomforts to visually confirm the adjustment result.
The Role of the Four-Wheel Alignment Machine
The data processing unit is the main component of the four-wheel alignment machine, comprising a computer system, power supply system, and interface system. Its role is to facilitate user command operations of the four-wheel alignment instrument. It collects and processes image data from sensors, displaying it alongside original design parameters, guiding the user in adjusting the car wheels, and finally printing the corresponding reports.
The Current Situation of the Four-Wheel Alignment Machine
The 3D car four-wheel alignment machine has become popular in China over the past two or three years. This product is widely recognized for its high measurement efficiency, low failure rate, and advanced technology.
