You guys make these subjects more complicated than they are. Thinking to much. Basic principle only.

I'm trying. But I need basic math to move the plates to get rear right toe lower. As for the front I'll leave it till I buy new arms and fix everything.

No way 0.46* is equal to length.


You asked, I answered, do your own research!!!

if both rear wheels were at .46degrees then total toe in the rear would be .32"

Lol thanks slow. I'll try the 1/8" then. If half that's 0.16 then 0.125 should get me close.

My wheel bases are different. Right is like 2/16th longer. If I move it I'll get some toe there also.

Just remember toe length is a -b so to correct .160 u only need to move .08

A few more questions for you. I want to see how good I am at measuring toe with a tape measure. Before the alignment at home I measured that the rear was toe'd in 0.34". When I first got on the machine the total toe in was 0.73 degrees. Are these numbers close for one being length and one being degrees?

Last, I took off the right toe plates and measured from the edge to where the hole starts and got 0.38". You can only make the toe plates go down to 0.26" because that's where the subframe hole ends with 0.26" before you get to the knotches in the subframe that holds the plates. So that's what I did. The right side is now maxed out pulled in with the plates 0.11" more then they were. What do you think that is in degrees now when I started at 0.46*?

I measured again after (not before like a dummy) with a tape measure and it looks like now that I'm toed out. Looks to be 2/16th out.
