Q: this is how you check the tow http//www.loadstar.se/images/tow-truck.jpg this page mentions toe http//www.familycar.com/alignment.htm the only time i had to check the tow on my dodge was when aaa came and got me. and the guy looked like he knew what he was doing. i dont think a tape measure will help tow a dodge. i did have to check the toe one time used a 1 x 4 board 8 feet long. spellin aint beekeeps forte. mike -- christopher a. young you cant shout down a troll. you have to starve them. . on fri 08 dec 2006 093616 -0600 tom matigan matigan@rockymountaindigital.org wrote on fri 08 dec 2006 104105 +0000 beekeep wrote are the wheels towed in about an eighth of an inch i dunno. the alignment is supposed to be within normal specs. my father also asked about the alignment. he believes that some combinations of camber/caster could produce poor tracking - even if the overall alignment was in spec. what is the significance of the eighth inch toe-in if it produces unstable tracking shouldnt one of the professional mechanics have caught it you can check the tow with a tape measure. pick a tread on each front tire and measure both on the front and on the back of the tire. the front measurement should be about an 1/8 less. beekeep .
