M 1078 front toe spec

Just for fun today I checked the toe on my 2001 m1078. Using 54” of 1x1 box tubing on each side, pushed up to the tire. I measured 1 3/8” of toe in. I thought
that seems like a lot of toe in, so I changed it to 3/8” toe in. Had to adjust the steering link to align the steering wheel. Drives the same. Maybe will get better
tire wear??

Chapter 13-5 in the manual has a horrible description of measuring toe-in(says to install the gauge at the bottom, measure there then roll the vehicle forward, which would put the gauge on the back side and probably in conflict with the driveshaft), but it states toe-in should be between 0-1/8”…

Interesting I’ll have to check mine when I get back home.

With all my off road trucks with larger tires I’ve run 1/8”. This was based on my friends recommendation. Seems to always work, hands off down the road with big tires. Sounds like that might work on these trucks too!

In the past I’ve run 1/8” toe in, also with good results. The tire size and the length of the tubes needed to get around them
made me settle on the 3/8” Not saying it’s correct but it has got to be better than 1 3/8”.
