There seems to be some variance in the quoted toe figures from 2mm +-1 to 4mm+-2 which is effectively allows between 1m and 6 mm which is quite a lot. What is the definitive measurement for a 2011?

2 to 6 mm toe-in is correct for the early vehicles, I don't have a manual for the later ones (despite searching)

I aim for 1/8" toe-in on my Olden Days gauges

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Ok cheers. I guess I will aim for about 3mm as a compromise especially as I'm not sure what age the front axle tube is. Thanks.

I wonder if they can get a wheel alignment machine on big tyres?

I never bothered and have just kept it as it was but it might be worth the £35 my local place charges on their hunter machine to have the panhard rods exactly right as well as the toe.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what angle the toe in should be rather than measurement?
