This procedure is described in this German workshop manual I have here (So wird's
gemacht #38, for those who might have it) and the toe-in is to be set following a
scale, all depending of the suspension's free length. If this is new for ya'll, I
can scan the part and put it up on my site. I do not know if this is included in
the Bentley, as I don't have it. If so, this is of course no news to you.
