What is front toe adjustment?
Toe-in or toe-out – the amount by which the wheels are closer or further apart at their front edges than at their rear edges – is adjustable on all cars. The setting can go wrong because of an incorrect adjustment, or through driving hard on to a kerb.
What does toe-in adjustment mean?
Toe. Distinct from camber alignment, toe alignment is the extent to which your tires turn inward or outward when viewed from above. If that’s confusing, just stand up and look down at your feet. Angle them inward toward the center of your body.
What is toe-in angle?
The toe angle is the direction the tires are pointed, in relation to the vehicle centerline, viewed from above. Toe angle can be expressed in degrees or fractions of an inch. If the tires point inward, the angle is positive. This is also called “toe-in.” Tires that point outward have a negative toe angle.
What should the Toe Reading be on a Mercedes?
front toe in readings should be 0º06′ overall ± 6′ (or 0º03′ per side ± 3′) so if positive this would be correct – Mercedes also specify checking & adjusting with the use of a spreader bar which loads up the front of the wheels. rear toe in readings should be 0º33′ ±15′ again overall, so again if positive toe in this would be correct.

He says that the spec range for toe for the front wheels is -0.41. to -0.74 in total degrees (left and right added together). This means toe-out! Since this change I’ve found that the van seems to meander a little more at highway speeds. It doesn’t pull as tight of a line up the middle of the lane.

What does toe setting do on rear wheel drive truck?
The toe setting is typically used to help compensate for the suspension bushings compliance, and to enhance tire wear. On rear wheel drive trucks they push the front end down the road causing the control arms to “deflect” rearward against their bushings.
