What does it feel like to drive with incorrect toe-in?

Incorrect toe-in does not necessarily cause the car to pull to one side. The so-called toe-in refers to the difference between the distance measured at the front center of the front tires and the rear center of the front tires when the front wheels are in the middle position. It is generally around 10mm. If the errors on both sides are the same, the toe-in is still incorrect, but the car will not pull to one side. However, incorrect toe-in can still cause significant tire wear. Below is some relevant information: 1. The function of front wheel toe-in: It gives the wheels a tendency to turn inward, which can offset the adverse effects caused by front wheel camber, allowing the wheels to roll straight without lateral dragging, reducing tire wear, and ensuring that the steering can automatically return to the center after turning. 2. The symptoms of incorrect toe-in are: If the car pulls to the right, the toe-in rod on the left front wheel should be slightly shortened. Start the car, turn the steering wheel fully to the right to make the left wheel deviate outward, then squat down to see the toe-in rod of the left wheel exposed. Use a wrench to loosen (tighten the screws), turn the toe-in rod counterclockwise, rotate the wrench handle 90 degrees to slightly shorten the left toe-in rod.
