it depends on if your running radials or biasply tires. Radials, I'm told should be zero toein, but some people will argue that they run a little toein and the car handles a little better. I run a little toein myself. Toein increases with a person in the car.Gents,
what is the correct adjustment (Toe In ) of the front axle of a BN6. I measured the current settings of my car. It is 1 dgree, 35 sconds toe in. From my understanding of the workshop manual, that is too much toe in. Can anybody help?

I believe mine was set at 1/16" degrees toein but it's been a while since it was done. A friend and a string did it with me helping somewhat and it worked good. Maybe a call to Allen Hendrix of Hendrix wire wheel will shed some light on this?Patrick,
I am running Radials. Can you detail on "little toein" in terms of degree. As said, my current setting is 1 degree, 35 seconds. I have no idea if this is still "little" toe in ;-)

I corrected my original post. I meant 1/16" of an inch.I believe mine was set at 1/2 degrees toein but it's been a while since it was done. A friend and a string did it with me helping somewhat and it worked good. Maybe a call to Allen Hendrix of Hendrix wire wheel will shed some light on this?
You are correct.Randy, that means that the B axis mentioned in the workshop manual is located at the inner border of the cmplete wheel and the A axis is located at the outer border of the wheel? In consequence, the distance (back to fromt) between A axis and B axis is the diameter of the complete wheel, isn't it? Hence the 1/8 to 1/16 difference between A and B is relativ to the diameter of the complete wheel and not the diameter of the rims?
If this is true Geometry will help me to calculate the angle I am looking for

Wouldn't using a tape measure be easier?Randy, that means that the B axis mentioned in the workshop manual is located at the inner border of the cmplete wheel and the A axis is located at the outer border of the wheel?
