my blue car has 1mm toe in one side and 1mm toe out the other - manufacturing tolerances? suppose itll depend on which side was down when it was dipped in the vat of molten zinc and deposited more metal in the hole
1 mm makes no noticeable affect on driving or tyre wear We argue every year about it on race cars a small amount of toe in is supposed to help with cornering i prefer to set it up 0
Sean, can I infer from this that you might have expected the "factory setting" to be zero toe-in? No one else seems to have directly answered the first question I put up...
That (zero) is indeed what I would have guessed...and was surprised to discover it wasn't!
Not only that, but 'twere different on either side. And more than 1mm, too. And no - it has never been bingled.
So now ... does anyone have suggestions on setting/changing the toe-in? Big cheater bar? Or more technically, shims of some sort? Hydraulics as per a chassis straightening rig?
