EMWHYR0HEN Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I'm wondering are there any charts or formulas on how to convert inches into degress to adjust camber, caster and toe? I'm sure it varies from car to car because of wheel sizes and different suspension parts but, can someone get me started here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasper Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I do a couple of alignments a week. To the best of my knowledge, toe is usualy in inches. Camber in degrees, as is caster. Not sure you can convert the last 2 into inches...or why you would want to???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X64v Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Where specifically are you looking to measure distances in inches? It could be done for specific applications using simple trig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators RTz Posted December 31, 2008 Administrators Share Posted December 31, 2008 Pull out your scientific calculator, press "1" then "tan" then "X" then "24" then "=". You're answer should be .4189. What this means is 1 degree, over a length of 24" will 'offset' .4189". Said another way, a 24" tall tire, leaned over at .4189" would be at 1 degree of camber. Of course, the same method can be applied with suspension components, etc. Use any number combinations you want and, if you're feeling frisky, learn to use the inverse function to calculate backwards. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMortensen Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 There is a file in the download section that converts one to the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
