Best Answer

It refers to the alignment of the wheels on a car. If you were to face the front bumper of a car, and you could grab the front tires at about the mid-way from the ground to the top of the tire, and then pull the wheels together towards the center of the car, then you would have cause a toe-in alignment of the front wheels.

How do you do a front end alignment on a 92 Taurus Without taking it in for one?

Disclaimer: I amnot a pro car mechanic. However, I have done pretty much everything to my cars. If your tires wear, don't blame me The caster/camber is not adjustable on the Taurus. Look at the front wheels, and they should be fairly vertical. One of mine was not, and I looked, and found the Mcphearson strut mounting plate at the top had cracked rubber. This caused the wheel to "lean into" the car. There is a "drill-out the top mounting plate" for camber adjustment. search online, I have never done this. Jack the car up slightly, and try to move the front wheel up and down with a lever. No movement? good. Try side-to-side No movement? good. Up-and-down movement? probably lower ball joint. Side-side only? probably tierod. Both? might be bearing. On a flat surface, drive the car straight, then stop. Sight along the outer edges of the front tire, and when the front and back edges of the tire line up, it should also line up with the rear tire's edge. Do both sides. With the steering wheelstraight, did the car pull? Take those lineup observations and the pulling into consideration, drive up on ramps (easier than jacking up car). Loosen the locknut on the tierods(s) and get a wrench on the inner tierod, and screw it into or out of the outer tierod. Tighten locknut(s). Test drive. repeat as needed. I have searched online for toein specs, and have not been able to find it. The Haynes manual does not deem the home mechanic capable, evidently, as they do not supply the specs. (Sometimes I hate Haynes). If my procedure is good, then the toein should be 0 degrees. I did find some specs for later models (yr2000+) for -.2, +/-.2 , so 0 should be OK.
