  1. Toe-out check 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 vehicle on wheels (use full-floating turn table under each wheel), repeating test with each wheel positioned for right and left turns.
  2. Incorrect toe-out generally indicates a bent steering arm. Replace arm and recheck all wheel alignment adjustments.
