If you set your toe to that, it's WAY too little! (archive)

Just checking to see how bad the bump steer is with some of you. My car is stock I believe, except for the Biltien HDs in the front.

Toe is set to +/- .06-.08 degrees.
Tire pressure is 36lbs front 38 rear.

If you have toe of 0.06 to 0.08 degrees of toe in, then it's WAY too little.

When you get near 0.1 degrees of toe in, you start to get tramlining. In fact, I believe that spec is supposed to be betwen 0.11 and 0.19 degrees of toe in.

Make sure that you also know the difference of degrees and minutes, some machines print it out in degrees only, some do it in degrees and minutes. (60 minutes per degree. So, 20' is equal to 0.33 degrees).
