<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Within limits it is not that critical
but treat the specification as a maximum toe in to fend of uneven
tyre wear. It also depends on the rest of the suspension set up,
tyres, tyre pressure and use of the car.<br>
For the standard set up, cross ply tyres and just some leisurely
touring around you would want something very near the specified
toe in. For radial tyres with a bit higher tyre pressure, a bit
less toe in to zero.<br>
If you have a negative camber set up, stiffer springs, anti roll
bars and doing some serious fast driving, zero to a bit toe out is
often used. This will take some experimenting, what suits you best.<br>
Do not do this yourself but have it done at a reputable service
station that preferably has some experience in motor sport and has
the proper equipment to perform 4-wheel aligning. This way slight
imperfections in the chassis and suspension can be compensated
for.<br>

<div>I had been fiddling with my steering rods so
had to reset the toe in.</div>
<div>All a bit fiddly and wonder if the more
experienced Listers have a different/better
technique ... ??</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This is what I do:</div>
<div>car level and front tire pressure balanced.</div>
<div>installed 2x al 1” square tubing (sq for
straightness) about 27/28 in long for 165/15
tyres across the bottom of the wheels; about 6
in from the floor; tried to use bungy cords but
in the end made a small retaining bracket that
screws behind the spokes; made these 2 bars
level; tightened just firm enough to stop
movement.</div>
<div>marked the front and rear tire extremity on
this bar.</div>
<div>bar cannot be higher as frame gets in the way
of a tape measure for rear measurement.</div>
<div>measured front and rear distances at tire
extremity to give about 3/32 toe in</div>
<div>I feel that the limitation of this method is
that am trying to measure a relatively small
distance over about 5 ft and the assumption that
the tyre side walls are uniform.</div>
<div>Took at least 5 adjustment and measurements
to get close – of course the LH thread always
fools me .. !!</div>
<div>Any ideas ?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Wonder how critical this toe in really is ?</div>
