Thrust Angle

1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Move the vehicle 3 - 4 meters (10 - 13 feet) straight forward.
3. Draw the center of loci for both the front and rear axles.
4. Measure distance "L" between the center lines of the axle loci.

Thrust angle: Inspection value 

0°±30  '

Less than 30  ' when "L" is 23 mm (0.9 in) or less
