Re: Toe in procedure.
Welcome to the club.
Here is a short, short version. Toe-in is where the front wheels 'fight each other' as they are just slightly angled in towards the center of the car. That being said, what needs to be done to your car? A great resource is Les Andrews first book-red I think. It will give you a step by step breakdown. Mike

Re: Toe in procedure.
Your local tire/alignment shop can do the job if the front end parts are in good condition.

Re: Toe in procedure.
here is a online video
I believe that the correct toe in is 1/16" plus or minus 1/32" https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q...tail&FORM=VIRE

Re: Toe in procedure.
Brent Terry posted about toe plates a while back. I think he uses something like this.

Re: Toe in procedure.
A weak or sagging front spring will cause front end shimmy . If the back tires are under inflated , it will also cause front end shimmy . I run my tires at 35 pounds pressure .
