How should toe be adjusted to compensate for road crown?

To maintain proper tire alignment in response to road crown, adjusting the left tire with slight toe out and the right tire with toe in is the most effective approach. Road crown refers to the slight slope of the road surface, which is designed to facilitate water drainage. This slope can push the vehicle towards the lower side of the road.

By setting the left tire to a toe-out position and the right tire to a toe-in position, you're effectively compensating for this slant. The toe-out adjustment on the left tire helps to counteract the force that the road crown exerts on the vehicle, ensuring that the left side does not drift excessively towards the edge of the road. Conversely, the toe-in adjustment on the right tire helps to keep the vehicle tracking straight, providing a balance that allows for better stability and control.

This strategy enhances tire wear and improves handling by counteracting the natural pull of the road crown, thus promoting a safer driving experience. Proper toe adjustment is essential for achieving optimal performance and ensuring that the vehicle remains stable on the road.
