Check and adjust the toe-in at the front axle. See STANDARD PROCEDURE .
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°. See STANDARD PROCEDURE .
1. Toe-in not adjusted with steering gear in straight ahead position resulting in unequal tie rod lengths.
2. Steering knuckle, steering column or steering intermediate arm bent.
3. 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.
