DETERMINING TOE IN/TOE OUT
(FIGURE 5)

1. Inflate all pneumatic tires to recommended tire pres-

sures.

NOTE: Recommended air pressure is listed on the
sidewall of the tire.

2. Measure the distance between the center lines at

the rear and front of the rear wheels at approximately
12-inches from the ground/floor.

NOTE: For optimum accuracy, perform STEP 2 with the
racing chair occupied.

3. Determine the difference between the two (2) mea-

surements. If the difference between the two (2)
measurements
 is GREATER than 1/2-inch (0 +
1/4-inch for maximum rollability)
, one (1) of two
(2) conditions exists:

a. If the rear centerline measurement of the rear

wheels is SMALLER than the front centerline
measurement
 of the rear wheels, a TOE-OUT
condition exists (FIGURE 5).

b. If the rear centerline measurement of the rear

wheels is LARGER than the front centerline
measurement
 of the rear wheels, a TOE-IN con-
dition exists (FIGURE 5).
