<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>
