Thanks Tom and Scott.

I'm starting to understand more. And I was right in thinking that a
wheel could be toed in or out independantly of the other. So with that
in mind....

A point of confusion remains. (and this may not be the problem, but I
suspect it is due to swap of a tie rod)

Let's way the left wheel is 0 toe, but the right wheel is x degrees
toe out.  How do I get the right wheel to 0 so I can set the correct
amount of toe in? i.e. what physical point do I measure from to set
the toed out wheel straight?

Neil.
