Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Dave, How many minutes of toe out are you using? I've got 20 minutes toe out. Paul (Play's Kool) set mine up, I think I spotted the standard (?) settings he used in his post on another thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Seabrook Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Right; here goes for a dense question - I set my car up using the centerline method with a piece of string down each side and have gone from toe in at the front to toe out and the car handles better for me. I have 15 inch rims and the toe is set to 2mm out on each wheel (overall 4mm toe out) - What does this equate to in degrees & Minutes and how do you work it out? Thanks. This is the reason I don’t use mm to measure toe and use 1/100ths of a degree to set toe caster and camber. One degree on a 15" wheel will be the same as one deg on a 13" wheel.

nikpro Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I think people have slightly missunderstood my question! I have approx 17min. toe out on each wheel; when people quote the toe settings is it for each wheel or the overall setting? i.e. have I 17 minutes of toe out or 34minutes of toe out?

Al Yupright Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 You need to ask the person if they're quoting an overall figure or a per-wheel figure. It is common to use either, but I always quantify mine with "per wheel" or "overall" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibbly Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Where I work we quote total toe (i.e sum of left and right) and individual Camber (i.e per wheel) for each axle, but not sure if this is industry standard. As already said, as long as its quantified, it doesn't really matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toe should be quoted as overall and is the way that we do it at work. If quoting toe per wheel it can get very confusing for the owner of the car if you quote one wheel has negative reading and one has a positive reading. Overall toe is the way it is listed in the Autodata information. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
