Toe In Curve, Adjusting on Front Axle


Toe in curve, adjusting on front axle
Explanation:

When the wheel compresses or rebounds, the wheel's toe changes as a function of the compression and rebound travel. The resulting toe values are called the toe-in curve.

The change in the toe constants "S" is adjusted when the vehicle is raised by vertically shifting the toe head

The wheel alignment computer determines the toe constant "S" from a value measured in the initial position and a value measured in raised position. In the process it compares the actual values with the expected values and displays them on the screen.

Different adapters are needed for lifting, depending on the suspension.

Note: An incorrectly adjusted toe constant causes the vehicle to pull to one side when braking or accelerating or when driving over bumps.
