[x300] Toe Data Conversion - Degrees to MM

X300
1

Hi All,

Would anyone know if there is data for front and rear toe expressed
in mm rather than minutes?

Many alignment shops still work in mms, but I suspect their sources
of the data they have.

I know the spec. is Front total 5 minutes +/- 10 minutes, and Rear
total 15 minutes +/- 20 minutes, but in mm’s ??

Speaking of alignment and getting it done correctly (my biggest
headache along with many others with both XJ40’s and X300’s), can
anyone recommend a good place in or around London? (I live in
central London).

My PAJ is a 1996 Sovereign on 16’’ wheels.

Regards,

Bill Taylor.–

Bill:
It is straightforward triginomity. Use the law of sines, the
radius of the tire, and a sine table. 1 minute is 1/60 th of a
degree. If you need the conversion, report back the tire diameter
and I will give it a minot brain strain. However, glancing at
your numbers, it says that zero toe is in spec, with a small bias
positive preferred.–
