The intentional nonparallel orientation of opposite wheels. Toe-in is measured by subtracting the distance between the front edges of a pair of tires from the distance between the rear edges of the same pair of tires. The toe-in dimension is positive when the fronts of the tires are turned toward the center of the car.
Difference in distance between the front of a pair of wheel rims and the rear of the same rims, the front distance being less.
when the wheels (front or rear set) are not parallel to each other, but facing inwards ( top view: / \ ); for adjusting the car's handling.
the alignment of the front wheels of a motor vehicle closer together at the front than at the back
The amount by which the front of the front wheels are closer together than the back of the wheels.
The degree to which the inside front edges of a pair of speakers are angled toward each other.
A conformation flaw in which the front of the foot faces in and looks pigeon-toed, often causing the leg to swing outward during locomotion ("paddling").
A term comparing the extreme front and rear of the front tires. Closer together at the front is toe-in; farther apart at the front is toe-out. Figure 27 Wheel toe-in (top view)
An adjustment of front-wheel alignment so that the tires are slightly pigeon-toed when the car is standing still. Toe-in is required for proper steering and tire wear.
Part of the kart setup which can dramatically affect handling. Toe-in means that the front of the front wheels is closer together than the rear-end of the front wheels. Essentially, it looks like the two front wheels want to drive towards each other. A small amount of toe-in improves the response during corner entry. See alignment and toe-out.
The intentional non-parallel orientation of opposing wheels.
Front wheel steering specification setting for the amount that the front of the tires are closer together than the rear of the tires; wheels are toed-in to improve steering, insure tire life.
angling of the front or steering wheels with respect to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle to improve steering stability. Too much toe-in results in excessive tire wear.
