Mark a measure level on each of the front tyres at the same height.Make a rough toe-in check with a length of string or wire. This will establish if the wheels are toeing in or out, but not by how much.Make the level as near to the height of the hub centre as possible.Hold thw ire at he measuring level and mark on it the distance between the outer rims at the front and then the rear of the wheels.Check the toe setting if you have dismantled and reassembled any part of the track or tie rods, and again have a garage re-check it.Checking toe settingRemove any heavy loads from the car. Inflate all tyres to the right pressures. Check the steering and suspension joints for wear (See ).Make sure that the track rods are straight and the same length on both sides.This does not apply to those VWs and Audis with one adjustable and one fixed track rod (See Replacing other types of track rod).Place the car on a flat, even surface — not a road, which is cambered — and centre the steering. Push the car forward a few yards, letting it stop without using the brakes.Bounce it a few times to settle the suspension. After this, do not touch the steering wheel or get in the car.Find measuring points on each front wheel. The car handbook usually gives the toe setting as measured between the inner wheel rims at their front and rear edges at the level of the hub.There are, however, few cars on which you can stretch a string or wire straight between these points because the axle is in the way. Measuring between the edges of the tyre treads is not usually practicable because the tread often has no clear edge.Adjusting the track rod
