Citroen ZX "Toe In" - biggrin
Hi,
Does anyone out there know an easy way of setting the toe-in?
I have done it as per the Haynes manual by measuring from the wheel rims. I spent a lot of time doing it in order to get it right, and I have the same number of threads on both sides and if my maths is correct the toe-in stands at -2.0mm Which is within the recommendations in the manual BUT,I am still getting a slight pull to the nearside and the inside edge of the tyre is wearing faster than normal. Could the problem be down to some other factor??
Any help deeply appreciated. Thanks Biggrin

I had similar problem on my 306, due to out-of-shape tyre. Try swapping left/right whells to see if it pulls the other way.

i agree and give the casing a good physical check for lumps etc with regards tracking ive tracked many cars by measuring the inner rims front and rear and never had a problem.
