STEERING AXIS INCLINATION
Steering Axis Inclination (SAI) is the tilt at the top of the
steering knuckle from the vertical. Measure the SAI
angle from the true vertical to a line through the center of
the strut and the lower ball joint as viewed from the front
of the vehicle.
SAI helps the vehicle track straight down the road and
assists the wheel back into the straight ahead position.
SAI on front wheel drive vehicles should be negative.
INCLUDED ANGLE
The included angle is the angle measured from the cam-
ber angle to the line through the center of the strut and
the lower ball joints as viewed from the front of the ve-
hicle.
The included angle is calculated in degrees Most align-
ment racks will not measure the included angle directly.
To determine the included angle, subtract the negativeor add the positive camber readings to the Steering Axis
Inclination (SAI).
SCRUB RADIUS
The scrub radius is the distance between true vertical
and the line through the center of the strut and lower ball
joint to the road surface. Scrub radius is bulit into the de-
sign of the vehicle. Scrub radius is not adjustable.
SETBACK
The setback is the distance in which one front hub and
bearing assembly may be rearward of the other front
hub and bearing assembly. Setback is primarily caused
by a road hazard or vehicle collision.
TURNING ANGLE
The turning angle is the angle of each front wheel to the
vertical when the vehicle is making a turn.

2C – 2 FRONT SUSPENSION
DAEWOO M-150 BL2
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
FRONT SUSPENSION
The front suspension for this vehicle is a combination
knuckle/strut and spring design.
The control arms pivot from the body. The lower control
arm pivots use rubber bushing. The upper end of the
strut is isolated by a rubber mount and contains a bear-
ing to allow the wheel to turn.
The lower end of the steering knuckle pivots on a ball
joint bolted to the control arm. The ball joint is fastened
to the steering knuckle with a bolt.When servicing the control arm-to-body attachment and
the stabilizer shaft-to-body insulators, make sure the at-
taching bolts are loose until the control arms are moved
to the trim height, which is curb height. Trim height is the
normal position to which the control arms move when
the vehicle is sitting on the ground. Refer to “General
Specifications” in this section.
