What is actually the axle offset in the vehicle?

Axle offset refers to the distance between a vehicle's geometric axle line and the actual axle line. The geometric axle line is the line connecting the center of the front and rear axles of the vehicle. The actual axis line, on the other hand, may deviate from the geometric axis line due to deviations in manufacturing, assembly or due to damage or wear. Lowering can also do this. Axis line skew refers to the inclination of the actual axis line with respect to the geometric axis line. A positive skew means the actual axis line is tilted up, while a negative skew means the actual axis line is tilted down.

Excessive wheel offset or lean can cause uneven tire wear, poor handling and uneven braking. Leaning too far can also make the vehicle more difficult to handle cornering and tire wear faster.

A pair of Axle offset refers to the inclination of the axles or the axle line to the geometric axle line (the right angle to the vehicle center line). If the wheel is on the right in front of the wheel on the left (direction of travel), this is referred to as a "positive axle offset". On the other hand, if the right wheel is behind the left, this is referred to as "negative offset".

In order to measure and set the wheel offset and tilt, a Wheel alignment carried out. Here, the vehicle is placed on a special test stand and the position of the wheels in relation to the axles and the geometric axis line of the vehicle is measured.

Wheel alignment can be used to adjust wheel offset and lean to ensure optimal handling and maximum tire life. It is important to have wheel offset and lean checked regularly, especially if there are signs of uneven tire wear, poor handling, or uneven braking. Proper adjustment can help make the vehicle safer and more comfortable to drive. It should also be noted that the axle offset can be relevant when lowering, since if a wheel is further out, a Grinding on the wheel house the result can be. borderline wheel/tire dimensions can therefore become problematic.

Of course, that wasn't the end of it!
