Front Axle Toe, Adjusting
Front Axle Toe, 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 toe constants "S" is adjusted when the vehicle is raised by vertically shifting the toe head. Refer to => [ Adjusting Toe Constant ] Adjusting Toe Constant "S".
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.
