Toe-in is larger at the front of the car. Introduction to front wheel toe-in: Front wheel toe-in refers to the condition where the distance between the front ends of the two front wheels is smaller than the distance between the rear ends. The difference in these distances is called the toe-in value. When viewed from above the car, the two front wheels form an upward-opening "V" shape. Front wheel toe-in can be defined as the difference in distance between the front and rear edges of the front wheels in the lateral direction of the vehicle, or as the angle between the direction of the vehicle's forward motion and the plane of the front wheels, in which case it is also called the toe-in angle. Function of toe-in: To ensure stable straight-line driving, the steering wheels should have an automatic self-centering effect. That is, when the steering wheels are subjected to an external force (such as hitting a stone) and deviate, they should immediately return to the straight-line driving position after the external force disappears. This self-centering effect is ensured by the positioning parameters of the steering wheels. Front wheel toe-in is one of these positioning parameters.
