Smitty Says: My post concerning toe in specs, in response to Roy's post
as the cause of darty handling, earned me a private post from Bob Helt
telling me I was wrong. Always ready to keep information factual I must
say that the specs I quoted were taken from Fred's book. I have made
Fred's tools and even improved on them. I do all my own alignments
because of bad experiences with shops. From now on though I will
research alignment specs rather than trust those in "The Book". I will
still stand by my opinion that toe-in for bias ply tires is not
necessarily the same for radial tires.
