  2. Loose wheel nut indicator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loose_wheel_nut_indicator

    A single wheel nut indicator. A common type of loose wheel nut indicators are small pointed tags, usually made of fluorescent orange or yellow plastic, which are fixed to the lug nuts of the wheels of large vehicles. [ 2 ] The tag rotates with the nut, and if the nut becomes loose, the point of the tag shifts noticeably out of alignment with ...

  3. Ackermann steering geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ackermann_steering_geometry

    Ackermann geometry. The Ackermann steering geometry is a geometric arrangement of linkages in the steering of a car or other vehicle designed to solve the problem of wheels on the inside and outside of a turn needing to trace out circles of different radii. It was invented by the German carriage builder Georg Lankensperger in Munich in 1816 ...

  4. Wheel alignment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_alignment

    Wheel alignment of a Ford Focus. Wheel alignment, which is sometimes referred to as breaking or tracking, is part of standard automobile maintenance that consists of adjusting the angles of wheels to the car manufacturer specifications. [1] The purpose of these adjustments is to reduce tire wear and to ensure that vehicle travel is straight and ...

  5. Toe (automotive) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toe_(automotive)

    In automotive engineering, toe, also known as tracking, [1] is the symmetric angle that each wheel makes with the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, as a function of static geometry, and kinematic and compliant effects. This can be contrasted with steer, which is the antisymmetric angle, i.e. both wheels point to the left or right, in parallel ...

  6. Caster angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caster_angle

    The caster angle[1] or castor angle[2] is the angular displacement of the steering axis from the vertical axis of a steered wheel in a car, motorcycle, bicycle, other vehicle or a vessel, as seen from the side of the vehicle. The steering axis in a car with dual ball joint suspension is an imaginary line that runs through the center of the ...

  7. Wheel arrangement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_arrangement

    Wheel arrangement. In rail transport, a wheel arrangement or wheel configuration is a system of classifying the way in which wheels are distributed under a locomotive. [1] Several notations exist to describe the wheel assemblies of a locomotive by type, position, and connections, with the adopted notations varying by country.

  8. Lug wrench - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lug_wrench

    Lug wrenches may be L-shaped, or X-shaped. The form commonly found in car trunks is an L-shaped metal rod with a socket wrench on the bent end and a prying tip on the other end. The prying tip is mainly intended to remove hub caps or wheel covers that may be covering a wheel's lug nuts. Another common type, sometimes called a spider wrench, is ...

  9. Lug nut - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lug_nut

    A lug nut is a nut fastener with one rounded or conical (tapered) end, used on steel and most aluminum wheels. A set of lug nuts is typically used to secure a wheel to threaded wheel studs and thereby to a vehicle's axles. Some designs (Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Saab, Volkswagen) use lug bolts or wheel bolts instead of nuts, which screw into a ...
