Wheel Toe: Wheel Toe (see Figure 3-6), is the turning in (or out) of the wheels when viewed from the overhead position. The actual amount of toe is normally only a few minutes of a degree. The purpose of a static toe specification is to ensure parallel rolling of the wheels, once the vehicle is in a dynamic state.
| | Excessive toe - in or toe - out may increase tyre wear. With rear wheel drive vehicles, a slight amount of toe - in, measured statically with the vehicle at rest, is required to off - set the small deflections due to rolling resistance and brake applications which tend to turn the wheels outward. | |
