32 00... General information and definitions: Toe

Reduction in distance of front wheels to rear of front wheels. The toe-in prevents the wheels from moving apart during driving and thus:

• The wheels from vibrating and grinding.
• Excessive tire wear.
• Excessive strain on the steering linkage and its links/joints.
• Heavy vehicle steering.

  Measurement is performed in "straight-ahead mode".
