Default Re: toe in tool

Second Whiskey B. I made one out of a curtain rod, two blocks of wood and two round headed fencing bolts that fit into the end of the curtain rod. Put two nuts on the curtain rod with some plastic weld sticum and when I use them I position the blocks so they hold the tool about 6 inches off the floor and measure inside distance between tires at a line on the tire. Mine have a line, if not jack it up and spin, chalk and make a line inside each. Then I turn one bolt so the tool just touched the line on the two tires. I then move the car half a tire rotation forward or back and check this distance. A couple fo times of doing this I know which way and how much to turn the Tie rod to get the proper toe in.
Tighten things up when done, some forget that part, I'm told.
