What is Toe-in of Steering Wheels?

[OAdriel]

Toe-in of steering wheels refers to the slight inward inclination of the front edges of the left and right front wheels. Below are the specific details about toe-in of steering wheels: 1. Function of wheel camber: The main purpose of wheel camber is to make steering easier, keeping the wheels close to the inner bearings of the wheel hub to reduce the load on the outer bearings and hub nuts, which contributes to safer driving. 2. Function of toe-in: Toe-in creates a tendency for the wheels to turn inward, counteracting the adverse effects caused by wheel camber, allowing the wheels to roll straight without lateral skidding, thereby reducing tire wear. 3. Adjustment method: The toe-in of front wheels can be adjusted by changing the length of the tie rod. During adjustment, the distance difference between the front and rear of the two wheels should be made to conform to the specified toe-in value as per the measurement position designated by the car manufacturer. Generally, a toe-in value between 0 and 8mm is considered normal.
