The Haynes manual states 1mm +/- 1/2mm toe in for our estate, ph3 2 litre hdi power steering, is this correct please??
Also, how much toe in would be achieved with one complete turn of a track rod, turned so as to lengthen the track rod please.
The tyre wear on the outer edges suggest too much toe in, more outer edge wear on the o/s/f compared with the n/s/f, about twice as much, with some feathering across the whole tread, but mainly and more pronounced on the outer edges ( toe ing in more under braking?? ) . The p bushes and wishbone etc. seem all ok.
I have a simple trammel gauge ( like very large calipers ) to do a basic check and will measure this afternoon, after the match. JNo one in our area does a "free check" and charge about £30 for a check and adjust, well they did the last time and wear has increased since then, so I don't really trust them.
