Re: toe in tool
toe in fyi
the issue with the spring gauges and chains is
- if one of or both of the wheels are not true. runout
or
- the tire is not on the rim true. runout
then the spring type gauge is not at all accurate.
make sure you have no wobbles in your wheels or tires. (model A wheels have been known to be bent)
if you have a bit of a wobbley tire or wheel
and
if you are going to do your toe-in with at tape measure you need to lift the front of the car wheels off the ground, spin the tire while at the same time scribing a line on the center tread of the tire, do it on both tires. then with the car back on the ground measure between scribe marks at the front and rear of the tires at the exact same height.
