Hi Mark,

A steering system will have three geometrical modes of function: Caster, Camber and Toe-in.

Given a correct Camber setting, and just as proper Caster gives the "Return to center" effect, Toe-in provides a small but certain amount of steering "stability".

Tires are toed in at the front just a touch; usually about 1/8" or so, but consult your owners manual as all outfits may vary.

When applied to faster moving cars and trucks, geometrical allowances in the Toe-in settings are made for compression of the rubber constructed steering bushings and such, but this is another whole chapter.
