Which alignment angle is usually not adjustable on a modern car?

  • A.Front camber, which is set by the position of the strut within its mounting and can be altered by slotting the holes
  • B.Castor
  • C.Toe, which is set at the track rod and is the setting most frequently disturbed during ordinary road use
  • D.Rear toe

Answer: B

Most strut suspensions fix castor by the geometry of the mountings and provide no adjustment. Camber is sometimes adjustable by eccentric bolts or slotted holes, and toe always is. A castor error therefore points to accident damage. Checking which component actually carries the load settles most questions of this kind at once. Working the distinction through on a single concrete case fixes it more firmly than any rule of thumb.
