What does the toe-in specification indicate?

The toe-in specification refers to the alignment of the front wheels of a vehicle in relation to each other when viewed from above. Specifically, it indicates that the front edges of the wheels are closer together than the rear edges. This configuration can help improve the vehicle's handling, straight-line stability, and overall tire wear. Proper toe settings contribute to ensuring that the wheels work in unison when the vehicle is in motion, optimizing performance and promoting even tire wear.

While the angle of the steering wheel is important for vehicle control, it does not directly relate to toe-in measurements. Additionally, the rear axle's position relative to the front and suspension height adjustments pertain to different aspects of vehicle alignment and suspension setups, not specifically to toe-in adjustments. Therefore, understanding that toe-in measures the distance at which the front of the wheels are closer together is essential for proper wheel alignment and maintenance.
