Ah ok. 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!

Neil.
