Good to learn something new today. Thanks

 

So I got my toe-in within factory specs. Since someone brought up camber, mine is off. My installer also said the pinion angle is way bad for the front. Is this related to the camber? Will upper control arms help me bring this inline?

Camber left: -0.6 degrees
Camber right: -0.8 degrees

OEM specs for camber call for a min. of -0.3 and a max. of -0.2

 

i second that! There seems to be alot of talk on this forrum about degrees being equal to inches when looking at toe from alignment machines, someone please correct me if a am wrong. While i do agree those numbers happen to be close when looking at an 1/8" of an inch of toe compared to the degree equivelent but as toe starts to get further out of wack the similarity between those numbers start to grow further apart. i think this is why aligment machines use degrees as units of measure rather than inches. Measurements of toe in degrees will not be dependant on wheel diameter but inches will. Anyone?

 

You could always look at the alignment write-up on the site here and also search for "Planman Toe-in" on you-tube and watch his video. Then take 5 minutes and set your toe-in

 

i use that method to get my toe set close and follow up with a reading from alignment shop. I have two shops that will do it for $20 cash just for a reading.

 

I thought about this and did some math:


1/8" toe at a 17" wheel would be .21° per side?

But at the edge of a 32" tire it would be .11°.

Math nerds feel free to check me here.

 

Mine reads .20L + .19R = .39 degrees total toe from the alignment rack. Measured is 1/8". 35 X 12.5 tires
