What is Toe Angle?
1 Answers
Toe angle refers to the angle between the direction of the vehicle's movement and the plane of the front wheels, and it is also represented by the distance difference between the front and rear edges of the front wheels in the Y-direction of the vehicle. The purpose of toe angle is to eliminate the adverse effects caused by the camber of the front wheels during driving, ensuring that the steering wheels roll straight without lateral skidding, thereby maintaining stable straight-line driving and providing the steering wheels with an automatic self-centering effect. The adjustment method for toe angle is as follows: 1. Inflate the tires to the appropriate pressure for the vehicle, ensuring that all four tires are roughly the same, so that the vehicle is in a stable stationary state; 2. Use a long ruler to measure the distance between the centers of the front wheels, then measure the distance between the rear edges of the front wheels. The difference between these two measurements is the toe value. If the toe value exceeds the range of 0 to 12mm, it needs to be corrected; 3. Turn the steering wheel to one extreme, then use a wrench and tools to adjust the axle to the appropriate position and tighten it; 4. After adjustment, re-measure the toe value to ensure it is within the specified range.
