Toe-Out On Turns

  1. 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.
  2. Use a full floating turn table under each wheel, repeating test with each wheel positioned for right and left turns.
  3. 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.
