That being the case (and this is what I've been asking all along), why does the table you and Graham have referenced give a clear Negative (toe out) indication for the toe at (IIRC) 20 of turn, but doesn't say Negative for toe in normal straight ahead? Or am I missing something?
Obviously I'm quite used to concept of positive or negative camber, but toe is usually described in casual circles as 'in' or 'out', rather than + and - .
Also Richard, does your Gunson tell you what you've actually set? E.g., do you know what you're actually running? If so what, and I'll try that.
I would treat the value without +/- with caution. The comparable values for Lupo 3L/FSI/GTI on Elsawin all have + or - signs. Incidentally they all have the same 20deg value as the A2. The straight ahead static value for the GTI/FSI is 0deg +/- 10' whereas the 3L is -10deg+/- 5'! I think that's why our 3L's suffered initially from wear on the front inside edges!
This all becomes academic with Trakrite. You simply adjust the tracking until the instrument reads zero after running over it. No idea what the static toe measurements are but I have no tyre wear or any other issues. Instructions attached. You do need level ground though, which might be a problem in Heathfield!
