Wheel Alignment Specifications (South America)
NOTE:
All specifications are in degrees, convert to angular minutes, if necessary.
Conversion
- 1.00 degree = 60 angular minutes
- 0.75 degrees = 45 angular minutes
- 0.50 degrees = 30 angular minutes
- 0.25 degrees = 15 angular minutes
- 1.00 angular minute = 60 angular seconds
Example
| 0.14 degrees | * | 60 angular minutes / degree | = | 8.40 angular minutes |
| 0.40 angular / minutes | * | 60 angular seconds / angular minute | = | 24.00 angular seconds |
|
NOTE:
Angular seconds up to 30 are rounded off, angular seconds beyond are rounded up to 60 angular seconds. |
||||
| 24.00 angular seconds | -> | 0 angular seconds | = | 0.00 angular minute |
| 0.14 degrees | = | 8.40 angular minutes | = | 8.00 angular minutes |
| Condition: Full tank, no passengers and placed on plane ground. | ||||
