What is the function of front wheel toe-in?

The function of front wheel toe-in: To eliminate the adverse effects caused by wheel camber, ensure that the wheels do not roll outward, prevent wheel sideslip, and reduce tire wear. The toe-in value can be adjusted by changing the length of the steering tie rod, generally ranging from 0 to 12mm. Due to front wheel camber, the left and right wheels often experience opposite-direction side thrust corresponding to the camber angle, which increases tire wear. To avoid this, it is necessary to find a way to eliminate this side thrust. The solution is to install the wheels in such a way that the central planes of the two front wheels of the car are not parallel, with the distance between the front edges of the two wheels being less than that between the rear edges. The difference between these two distances is the front wheel toe-in.
