Front Wheel Toe-In: Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Subaru Impreza. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Using a toe gauge, measure the front wheel toe-in.
    1. Toe-in:  0+/-3 mm (0+/-0.12 in)
  2. Mark the rear sides of left and right tires at height corresponding to the center of spindles and measure distance "A" between marks.
  3. Move the vehicle forward so that the marks line up with front sides at height corresponding to the center of spindles.
  4. Measure the distance "B" between left and the right marks. Toe-in can then be obtained by the following equation:

    A - B = Toe-in
