Zero toe angle is present when both tires are parallel to the center thrustline.
How can a mysterious case of tire wear occur in a perfectly aligned vehicle? It happens and the answers aren’t always simple. To better explain, let’s go back a few decades when I aligned a 1983 Mitsubishi RWD pickup, only to have it return a month later with a tire scuffing complaint. Although the outside edge of the right front tire showed evidence of toe-related wear, the current toe angle was 0.100 inches, which is within the Mitsubishi’s +0.080” to +0.350“ specification.
Electronically adjustable shocks and struts use conventional mono-tube and twin-tube oil-filled dampeners.
It is critical to remember that toe is not always zero or straight ahead.
Reflashing and reprogramming is a necessary service for repairing vehicles.
Replacing rear wheel bearings on a live axle rear suspension requires a few extra steps when compared to a unitized bearing.
The logic behind most ADAS warnings or corrections is to examine the plausibility of the situation.
Guessing the correct torque setting is a bad idea.
It’s essential to understand the differing needs of manufacturers, shops, technicians, and consumers.
