if you set toe-in at 1/8", or 1/4", it will remain that way whether the tractor, or car, truck, is parked or rolling down the highway.
NOT SO...
on a Rear wheel drive vehicle , the front wheels are pushed and tend to toe out. tie rods, idler arms have built in spec's which allow this.once running down highway the wheel are running parallel to each other and should be at zero toe in.
on a Front wheel drive, the front wheels tend to pull themselves forward and create toe in. that is why they are set with a slight toe out or close to zero.
toe in enhances staight line stability.
positive caster also enhances straight line stability.
