Toe angle is to adjust the rolling trend of wheels, change the direction of resistance, and thus change the driving characteristics of automobiles. The function of toe angle is to compensate the tendency of the tire to roll inward or outward due to camber and road resistance, and to ensure the straightness of the automobile.
The influence of "toe" and "outer eight" on cars;
Toe angle's eight characters will improve the stability of the car driving in a straight line, and there will be a tendency to understeer.
The figure of eight outside toe angle will cause oversteer and make the car more inclined to turn.

Measurement and adjustment of toe:
1. Measurement of toe-in: Before formal measurement, make sure that the wheel hub bearing of the front wheel is tight and the tire pressure of the front wheel is normal, then park the car on the flat ground, make the two front wheels in a straight driving position, and push forward 1 2 meters to eliminate various gaps that affect the inspection effect. Then, the two ends of the toe-in ruler are horizontally supported at the minimum distance inside the two front tires, that is, the highest point on the sidewall.
2. Adjustment of toe-in: The toe-in of front wheel can be adjusted by changing the length of tie rod. In the process of adjustment, the distance difference between the front and rear wheels can meet the toe-in value specified in the measurement position specified by the automobile manufacturer, and generally the toe-in value is between 0- 12mm, which is normal.
