Front wheel toe refers to the distance difference between the front end surface and the rear end surface of the front wheel in the transverse direction of the car. It can also refer to the angle between the forward direction of the body and the front wheel plane. It is also called toe in this case. horn. Toe-in affects straight-line driving and turning. For front-wheel drive vehicles, it can compensate for changes in synthetic elastic motion on the motion trajectory.
Front wheel toe
1. Explanation of terms Front wheel toe Front wheel toe is to make the distance between the front ends of the two front wheels of the car smaller than the distance between the rear ends. The difference in distance is called the toe value;
2. Looking down from the top of the car, the left and right front wheels form an "eight" shape with the opening facing backward. The toes point inward. The so-called "inward splayed feet" means that the left and right front wheels turn inward respectively;
3. The purpose of adopting this structure is to correct the outward rotation of the wheels caused by the above-mentioned front wheel camber angle. . As mentioned above, due to the camber, the steering wheel operation becomes easier;
4. On the other hand, due to the tilt of the wheel, the left and right front wheels rotate outward respectively. In order to correct this problem, if the left and right wheels With an inward angle, the plus and minus are zero, and the left and right wheels can keep traveling in a straight line, reducing tire wear.
