So if I'm understanding this correctly, that would mean: wheels parallel to each other, but pointing "equally" slightly to the right or left? So then am I misunderstanding toe measurement? Toe in/out is difference between: measurement taken at same inner point of trailing portion of each wheel and measurement taken at same inner point of leading edge of each wheel? What I see in my minds eye, is one wheel straight, one pointing to right or left. i.e. : | \ Or is that impossible? Sorry for not getting this. I just evades me!
