2003 Volkswagen New Beetle (1C1) L4-1.8L Turbo (AWP)SECTION Thrust Angle (Deviation From Direction of Travel), Calculating
Thrust angle (deviation from direction of travel), calculating
- If alignment readings for rear toe are both positive or both negative (+/+ or -/-), subtract smaller figure from larger figure to determine total toe angle, and then divide by 2
Thrust angle (deviation from direction of travel) = 5/
- If alignment readings for rear toe are different signs, one positive and one negative (+/-), add two figures to determine total toe angle, then divide by 2
Thrust angle (deviation from direction of travel): 10 /
The result is the deviation of the actual running direction from the longitudinal center line of the vehicle.
RENDER: 1.0x
