By useing a Good standard measure Tape and have a helper you can easily adjust the Toe in by first loeing up the Collars that connect the tie rods to the drag link losen both bolts on each end of the collars.
then taking a pipe wrench or vise grips and gently Rotate then Collar clockwise to expand the toe in to a toe out posistion or turn Counter clockwise to turn it too a toe in posistion, a toe in Guage on a Front end machine is Nothing more than a measuring stick or Device that reads just like a tape measure would once you set the Toe in to the proper Degree which is most cases a positive + .3 Degrees would be equal to approx 1/8th inch on th etape measure toe >IN . i have used this porceedure for over 55 years and matched it with a Bear alignment machine afterwards and been 100% on the money for accuracy. after you achieve the proper toe in just tighten the bolts on the collars.. and your done.
The factory specified range is .05 degrees to 0.15 degrees.
Toe is adjusted at the outer tie rod.
Zero to 1/8'' toe-in.
Toe in 1/16 of an inch
You take the car to a shop and have an alignment done. You do not have the proper sophisticated tools nor training necessary to adjust the toe on a vehicle.
Adjust rear of car then front of car. Adjust in this order: Caster, Camber, Toe.
To adjust the tow in and tow out you must adjust the tie rods. You must first break loose the nut then twist the tie rod until the right adjustment has been made.
check front caster/camber and toe , and then possibly adjust to within specs.
That sort of depends on what exactly you're trying to just, whether it's camber, caster (which would be a bit more complicated), toe in/toe out, or the handling aspect.
Caster 2 to 4 degrees Camber -1 to 1 degrees Toe 0 to .2 inches
That depends on weather you need to adjust the camber, caster, or toe... The toe is the easiest to adjust that is done by screwing the tie rod ends in or out depending on what you need.. Camber and caster is much more difficult but that is done by adding shims to the upper control arm.. But I would recommend taking your car to the shop for an alignment that should cost between $50 to $100 to make sure all is done right..
The toe is adjusted when you go get an front end alignment. An alignment is recommened for even wear of your tires and for your suspension. You can call Pep Boys, or Sears Auto, Goodyear, etc. for a qoute for your car.
