Alignment: Description and Operation

TOE-IN

The toe-in value is the difference between A and B, as illustrated.
If the wheels are exactly parallel, with the dimensions apart equal, the toe-in will be O.
The toe-in value must always be positive, that is to say, dimension B must be greater than dimension A.
B minus A = a positive toe-in value
Toe-in is adjusted by either lengthening or shortening the track rods. Correct toe-in contributes to directional stability.
The toe-in value on the rear wheels is always measured in relation to the vehicles symmetrical alignment. The symmetrical alignment is an imaginary
line between the middle point of the front and rear wheel axles.
Incorrect toe-in or toe-out produce vibrations that increase tire wear. The tires slip side ways.
Excessive toe in often produces wear on the outer shoulders.
