Toe-In






Toe-in




With toe-in the front part of the wheel points inwards. Toe-in can either be measured as an angle or as a difference between measurement a and b. See following illustration.




Correct toe-in gives the correct feeling from the road through the steering wheel and assists directional stability.
The toe-in angles are adjusted by the tie-rod length.

Note! Toe-in should always be adjusted in relation to the car's driving geometric axis (thrust line) which is derived from the rear wheel toe-in.
