Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both Technician A and Technician B are correct. The thrust angle is indeed the angle between the geometric centerline (an imaginary line that splits the vehicle into equal halves) and the thrust line (which is the average direction in which the rear wheels are pointing). This concept is crucial in wheel alignment to ensure the vehicle drives straight and does not pull to one side.
