The thrust angle is the angle between where the rear are directed and the centerline of the vehicle. The only way to adjust the thrust angle is through adjustable rear CAs.
What happens if thrust angle is misaligned?
A misaligned thrust angle may also cause diagonal wear on the rear tires and increase the chance the vehicle pulls or drifts to one direction. To eliminate the thrust angle, realigning the rear axle or rear toe is necessary. If bent or damaged parts are responsible, these must be replaced.
