32 00... General information and definitions: Toe

Reduction in distance of front of front wheels to rear of front wheels. The toe-in prevents the wheels from moving apart during driving and thus:

• the wheels from vibrating and grinding
• excessive tire wear
• excessive strain on the steering linkage and its links/joints
• heavy vehicle steering
