^
Add 1% to the toe-in value (setting value) of the left-hand wheel measured in the unladen position and compare with the toe-in reading
indicated. Correct toe-in of the left wheel if necessary.
^
Add 1% to the toe-in value (setting value) of the right-hand wheel measured in the unladen position and compare with the toe-in reading
indicated. Correct toe-in of the right wheel if necessary
Example
Actual toe-in measured in unladen position (setting value): +7°
Wheel toe correction (constant): +12°
Total: +19°
Toe-in with the vehicle in the raised position is therefore +19°± 2° at the wheel in question.
