Toe in on rear wheels ??

[182tev]

My car looks like it has a relative amount of toe in on the rear wheels.

Do clio's have toe in as standard on the rear ??

Maybe im just seeing things and the body kit makes it look this way, but any help is much appreciated !!

Thanks, Ben

Yep, a teeny bit. I have a full geo sheet somewhere, will have a look and post back if I can find it...

Ok that's brilliant ! I was a little worried that the car might of had a crash but I think the way the body is shaped sort of makes it look like that.....

Actually, looking at the sheet again, the 182 is meant to have a bit of toe out at the back... (Last page, right hand column, near the bottom)

hmmm.... how could i tell if it was toeing in?? the rear tyres are quite old exaltos but arent worn unevenly at all ??

Tracking gauge, or some axle stands, a ruler, and some string

Ok thanks for the help Adam.

I did a quick measurement with a ruler to measure the distance between the edge of the tyre and the side skirt and both were the same, so im guessing my mind is playing tricks on me... not that this is any good for calculation !!

No probs :race:

Haha, yeah, taking measurements off bodywork isn't ideal really. Have a look here: http://www.negative-camber.org/jam149/technical/alignment.html
