Toe-Out On Turns
1982 Buick Regal Sport, Trans Mfr CD 350C/MX5SECTION Toe-Out On Turns
- Toe-out is a check for bent or damaged parts, and not a service adjustment. With caster, camber, and toe-in properly adjusted, check toe-out with weight of car on wheels. See Fig 1.
- Use a full floating turn table under each wheel, repeating test with each wheel positioned for right and left turns.
- Incorrect toe-out generally indicates a bent steering arm. Replace arm and recheck all wheel alignment adjustments.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to correct by straightening parts.
