do sprinters have factory spec toe in?

[.ady]

i was wondering if anyone knows if the 86 has natural/factory toe in? i put on my wheels today for fitment pics and i notice that the rim is slightly turned in

you can see more yellow then blue. i jst want to know if its like that or something is wrong with my car

EDIT: if there is toe how much?

it could be but its the same on the other side (rear 1/4 is almost mickey) as well. i only did one side tho but looking at it now u notice its slightly in

[hao.]

I noticed this yesterday too....same on both sides.

you guys are trippin

[DRFTR86]

there will be an 'x' amount of factory toe in on the rear, most factory live axle vehicles do have

Moved to the RIGHT forum.

yep wasnt sure whether here or generals but all good now

I agree.

It's the shape of the gaurd, plus, the position of the wheel does sort of change when you turn the steering wheel. :unseen:
All cars should have front toe-in very close to zero. If it is set 1 degrees different, it's not enough to see with your eye.


The rear toe-in is ment to be zero, but we have a tollerance of course, and it can only be corrected by large tools, luch as a press. Because when they weld the housing, it must either bend or slip in the jig a bit. So rear toe-in is rarely perfectly zero, even on a new car. Sometimes 2 degrees out.

all cars come with rear camber and toe in to give the car more stability, even live axles do, but only fractions of what IRs cars have.

true though that the tolerances on the diff means they would all be slightly different.

RWD live axle Toyotas such as AE86, RA60, HiLux, Landcruiser, HiAce etc... are ment to have zero rear toe, and zero rear camber. I see it in the specs. I know it would be more stable if they had some toe and camber, but I don't think they are designed like that. Wheel bearing life must be more important. I have worked at a Toyota dealership and been the main wheel aligner at one time, and brand new HiLux's were sometimes having posative camber and toe out on the rear. Not all of them, but some. They were all just a bit all over they place, but I could tell zero was what was aimed for.
