Toe-in and Toe-out, Wheel alignment Explained - How it works.

An explanation of what "Toe" is on a car, why we need to adjust in or out and how it affects the vehicles handling and tyre wear.
Including explanations on toe in and toe out.
The steering geometry set-up is usually set by the manufacturer, and to maintain optimum performance and tyre life, we need to make sure that the toe setting is correct.

finally I found a video that confirmed my problem without spending any money! my car has inner tire wear in the front and feels wobbley on the highway. I will do a small toe-in adjustment today 😬

I have a 5th gen 4Runner and added a 3 inch lift and I am currently doing a DIY alignment 😂 I got my camber negative again but all I need to do is get the toe right lol.

[UKBrug]

Thank you . Top marks ! clear and precise

[briantriestobestrong]

welp even after hundreds of alignments i actually learned a thing

[PyleHD]

can you explain how does toe out induce a bit of oversteer in FWD vehicles?

[degrainger]

Funny when asking what side of tire is worn with too much toe in, AI generated answer was opposite to this and wrong. I like this very clear presentation. Not wise to trust AI answers!

Just got my truck alignment done today. It had a total of -2.33 of total tow out. Front tires where wearing fast and hitting bumps etc made for weird handling characteristics. Is -2.33 alot?

I need to find Rear Toe Tool for 2001 Saturn SL2. Do you happen know where I can purchase that tool? Bcs of the age of the car the local dealers don't have that tool anymore in their inventory. When attempted to do alignment on the rear of my car the screen shows: a tool which looks like L-shaped wrench and it reads on the screen "Rear Toe Tool". Thank you for the film.

I just did a string n tape measure alignment 2day and it's perfect and tracks straight with no hands n all😁.
But ya I did 1/16 TOE IN on each side =1/8 toe in all 2gether.
According 2 this do I now need 2 adjust each wheel 1/8 TOE OUT taking it 1/16 past 0 degrees

Do we use calipers and a degree engage to do the job

What are the effects on the rear wheels for fwd and rwd?

[Ray-Bans]

Toe out on fwd cars take away straight line accuracy u want dead center or towed in just a hair

[raisethecolours]

I knew it .... But didnt know know ... Toe out on fwd and toe in on rwd. 1/8 over all... 1/16 difference each tire

[ahmedmohmed]

@1:20 he said:
"the torque applied to the wheels on driving tends to make them pull themselves forward - toeing in."
how is that physically possible isn't the axis tied down to fixed Kunkle?
