Front Axle Toe-In Curve, Adjusting


Front axle toe-in curve, adjusting
Explanatory notes:
Bump or rebound alters the toe as a function of the bump and rebound travel. The resultant toe values are referred to as the toe-in curve.

The change in toe constant "S" is set with the vehicle raised by way of vertical adjustment of the tie rod end.

The wheel alignment computer determines the toe constant "S" by way of one measured value in the initial position and one when raised. In doing so, the actual values are compared to the specifications and displayed on the monitor.

Different adapters are required for raising depending on suspension.

Note: Incorrect adjustment of the toe constant will result in inaccurate steering on braking/accelerating or driving over an uneven surface.
