| You are going to have to measure the distance between the front and rear parts of the tire. Then adjust. | |

| 1/8 to 1/4 in makes for much better responce and less push in the corners.  | |

| Works best if you got two old wheels laying around with no tires so you can measure from wheel to wheel easily.. | |

| Youd be surprised of how many machines dont drive like they should due to the toe in being out right from the dealer floors.
You have to measure tire to tire....no other way to do it. I tried to get the alignment machine setup to do sxs's when I worked for PepBoys, but since the tires wont sit on the pads on the rack, it was a no go. I had at one time the actual specs in degrees, but without something to measure degrees of toe from the centerline of the Rhino it does you no good.
In short, stick with 1/4 inch toe in and you will be fine. | |

| Total...center the steering wheel, and adjust to have 1/4 inch more on the front side of the tire to the rear. Its hard to get a good measurment, but it can be done close enough to make the machine drive straight and handle properly | |

I know the guys keep saying toe IN but Craig explained it well. It is really toe OUT. | |
