Caster/Camber kit

Question

Hello can someone tell me how to say "Caster/Camber kit" for alignment on a car. Thank you.

Answer 1

Guillermo's response is technically correct, but it is extremely unlikely that you'll be understood if you use them in your regular alignment shop.

These images may provide some more commonly used terms when you go to request alignment services:

Notice how the first image shows that in some places they simply use the English terms. - Gekkosan, Oct 13, 2017

I will be understood in Agentina for sure - 00fac92a, Oct 13, 2017

I guess Mexico and Puerto Rico have a strong influence for being closer to the US. - 00fac92a, Oct 13, 2017

I don't know. I worked as an alignment specialist for a number of years in the US, and I could never figure out how to make myself understood by the alignment guys in Latin America. Go figure. - Gekkosan, Oct 13, 2017

It's probably highly regional. In Argentina "comba" is the only word used for camber. Caster is not something a regular driver knows about. - 00fac92a, Oct 13, 2017

Can you send me the images or post them again because i can't see them - Cesar9101, Oct 16, 2017

Answer 2

Caster: ángulo de ataque

Camber: comba

For kit we use the same word as English.

So I would say: "kit para ajuste de comba y ángulo de ataque".
