Thrust Angle: Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Subaru Impreza. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Position the vehicle on a level surface.
Move the vehicle 3 to 4 meters directly forward.
Determine the locus of both front and rear axles.
Measure the distance "L" between center line of loci of the axles.
1. Thrust angle:
  1. Less than 20' when "L" is equal to or less than 15 mm (59 in).
