WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 29 other vehicles, including the 1988 Pontiac 6000, 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser, 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, 1988 Chevrolet Celebrity, and 1988 Buick Century.

NOTE: Prior to performing wheel alignment, perform visual and mechanical inspection of wheels, tires and suspension components. See PRE-ALIGNMENT CHECKS article. For basic wheel alignment theory, refer to WHEEL ALIGNMENT THEORY/OPERATION article in the GENERAL INFORMATION section.

Camber is the tilting of the wheel, outward at either top or bottom, as viewed from front of vehicle. See Fig 1 .
When wheels tilts outward at the top (from centerline of vehicle), camber is positive. When wheels tilt inward at top, camber is negative. Amount of tilt is measured in degrees from vertical.
