Default Re: how many tie rod turns equates to 1/16 inch toe in change ?

axle to tie rod is 6 inches. Axle to centre of tirewall is 13 inches. axle to tread perimter of tire 15 inches
Soooo.... have I got this right..????
One full turn of tie rod extends it 0.084 inches.
This equates to c 0.084 x13/6 =0.182 inches [approx 3/16inch] at the side wall
and equates to c 0.084x 15/6 =0.21 inches at the tire perimeter
