Toe-in Curve on Front Axle, Adjusting
Toe-in Curve on Front Axle, Adjusting
Explanation:
When the wheel compresses or rebounds, the wheel's toe changes as a function of the compression and rebound travel. The resulting toe measurements are described as the toe curve.
The change in the toe constants "S" is adjusted when the vehicle is raised by vertically shifting the tie rod end. Refer to => [ Toe Constant S, Adjusting ] Toe Constant S, Adjusting
The wheel alignment computer determines the toe constant "S " using values measured in the initial and raised positions. The computer compares the measured values with the specifications and displays them on the screen.
Depending on the suspension, various adapters are necessary for raising the vehicle. Refer to => [ Adapters, Allocating to Suspension for Alignment ] Adapters, Allocating to Suspension for Alignment.
• An incorrectly adjusting toe constant causes vehicle to turn when braking/accelerating or when driving over bumps.
