Hello-

I noticed today for the first time that my fromt wheels aren't very straight although I got it done few days ago. Does the front wheels supposed to be spreading a little bit
outwards like this (i.e. \\ // )? or does it supposed to be completely straight? (i.e || || )

Thank you for any input!

a little toe-in helps cornering or turning and alittle negative camber helps cornering...

So, toe out is not good? That's what I have.

You shouldn't be able to see noticable toe-in or out with your eyes. If you can see it, something wasn't done right. You should have toe-in by a few degrees.

Sorry, i responded to that post when i was half asleep, A bit of toe-in is ok, but it should not be visible by eye. If it is, the alignment was obviously not done correctly or within factory specs...
