A CLARIFICATION OF TOE SPECIFICATIONS FOR WHEEL ALIGNMENT
APPLIED MODELS: All
SERVICE INFORMATION:
Toe, front or rear, is the position of the tire and wheel assembly in relation to the center line of the vehicle, as viewed from the top. This alignment
measurement influences the track holding characteristics of the vehicle. Incorrect Toe alignment can cause excessive tire wear.
Nissan service manuals give toe specifications as either "total toe-in" or "total too-out." Total toe-in or -out, means that one-half (1/2) of the listed
dimension should be applied, equally, to each wheel.
^
Toe-In is present when the tire is closer to the center line at the front (Figure 1a).
