Hi all...

My 1992 SL1 may have some alignment issues following a tie rod end
change. I say "may" because I'm not quite sure but would like to
doublecheck this myself.
Looking in the Chilton book, it says the toe has to be set for 0.2 inch
positive (0.1 inch per wheel).
OK now, where is that 0.2 inch measured? I would assume that it would
have to be measured 7 inches from the hub center towards the front of
the vehicle but the book doesn't specify that. The caster and camber is
shown in degrees but toe is shown in inches. Any ideas?

thanks
 
Hi i just replaced my tie rod ends two days ago. pretty sure its measured
from front of tire to back of tire, so it would be about .100 in. within
24 inches.
 
OK, so are we talking the difference between the front edges vs. rear
edges is supposed to be 0.4 inches then? And I assume that the
measurement is made based upon 14 inch diameter, correct?
