Setting toe in/out??

[gooseman]

My front tires are wearing on the outside edges and i believe its due to the toe setting...is there a quick & dirty way to check this setting???
Im sure if i go to an alignment shop they will be overwhelmed with the Midas being used to run of the mill american & jap cars...thanks, jim

Hi Jim

if its scrubbing on the outside (wheels pointing inwards), the tracking needs adjusting so that the steering arms are shorter. Opposite can be said if its scrubbing on the inside. Either that or worn bushes or ball joints somewhere.

You will find that the steering wheel will feel easier to steer when its set up right.

Some people use a string to check tracking. From front to front. Rear to rear of tyre to measure correction.

Kind regards,

David
