Checking Toe-Out On Turns
CHECKING TOE-OUT ON TURNS
1. Check and adjust the toe-in at the front axle. Service and Repair.
2. Check the toe-out on turns. To check steering geometry measure toe-out on turns. This is the difference in the wheel angle between the wheel on the outside of a curve and the wheel on the inside of a curve when the wheel on the inside of the curve is turned 20°. Service and Repair.
- Toe-in not adjusted with steering gear in straight ahead position resulting in unequal tie rod lengths.
- Steering knuckle, steering column or steering intermediate arm bent.
- On vehicles involved in an accident excessive deviations in the front end (longitudinal frame member, frame cross member, wheelhouse, or the cowl/dash panel) which have a negative effect on the adjustment range for camber and caster which can result in greater differences in the toe-out on turns between left and right.
