IMPORTANT: The nominal value includes a tolerance range, thus permitting a toe-in setting (+ wheel toe) as well as a toe-out (- wheel toe). The tie rods must be set so that either both front wheels point inwards by half of the front toe-in setting, or both front wheels point outwards by half of the front toe-out setting.
