The toe-in of the front steered wheels

img23 (2)The toe-in of the front steered wheels. The toe-in of the front steered wheels is the arrangement of the front wheels, in which the distance between their rims is less at the front than at the rear. The toe-in of the wheels is measured in millimeters at the height of the axis of their rotation, with the straight-ahead wheels alignment. The toe-in of the wheels ensures their parallel rolling while driving, when forces act on the wheels to tilt them outward. This position of the wheels prevents the tires from slipping on the road surface, thus, it reduces the wear of their treads and prevents accidents. Correctly set toe-in of the front wheels has a great influence on tire wear and on the car's handling, and the wheels are adjustable by changing the length of the cross bar. The ends of the cross bar are terminated with a threaded bolt, screwed into the bushing of the spherical pin housing. After loosening the nuts, you can unscrew the bolt from the sleeve and change the length of the rod. If the toe-in is too small, the crossbar must be lengthened, so unscrew from the ends, when it is too big - the bar should be shortened, screwing it into the tips.
