1 (X): Left Toe-in Angle

deg

The magnitude is the global top view angle between the left wheel spindle axis and the global Y (lateral) vector.  The sign is positive in toe-in and negative in toe-out.  Left wheel toe-in angle is equal to the negative of the left wheel steer angle.  See Figure 1 (below).

2 (Y): Right Toe-in Angle

deg

The magnitude is the global top view angle between the right wheel spindle axis and the global Y (lateral) vector.  The sign is positive in toe-in and negative in toe-out.  Right wheel toe-in is equal to the right wheel steer angle.  See Figure 1 (below).

3 (Z): Average Toe-in Angle

deg

The mean of components 1 and 2.

4 (RX): Left Camber Angle

deg

The magnitude is the global front view angle between the left wheel spindle axis and the global Y (lateral) vector.  The sign is positive when the bottom of the tire is inboard of the top of the tire.  See Figure 2 (below).

5 (RY): Right Camber Angle

deg

The magnitude is the global front view angle between the right wheel spindle axis and the global Y (lateral) vector.  The sign is positive when the bottom of the tire is inboard of the top of the tire.  See Figure 2 (below).

6 (RZ): Average Camber Angle

deg

The mean of components 4 and 5.
