Alignment settings

[Joe R26]

I'm a bit confused. From what I can gather a 182 should be set to 12 degrees toe out according to the f4r PDF and the figures Edde has posted in the guides section.

Is this correct? Every time my alignment gets done they set it to 12 degrees toe in.

I always thought toe had to be slightly in to compensate for accelerating etc.

i thought 1mm of toe out was best for handling, helps turn in.

The figures I posted are Renault official ones.

Most alignment places dont have a clue tbh. w*****s.

Tell me about it. I had it done on the hunter system but they set it to -12 degrees.

I would have thought +12 degrees toe would scrub the tyres out quicker? :s

Think this may be my problem in the thread below this :-(

12 degrees? - you mean minutes. But yeah, it should be -12 (or around about 1mm toe out). See the thread ^ he ^ started.

Isn't toe out +12?

-12 is toe in right?

 

[Joe R26]

Just searched on google. You are right. negative is toe out and positive is toe in. Wierd!

 

[Fred@BTM]

positive toe = toe in
negative toe = toe out

hence why people **** it up

Well thats cleared that up. Looks like they have been doing my alignment correctly then
