Default Need to add front toe

I just got a new UK alignment which calls for zero front toe, the car feels a little unstable at speed and slightly darty when braking on bumpy surfaces. Even Though I speced zero toe and got the Hunter sheet stating so, the car feels like it's got slight toe out.

I just want to add a smidge of front toe-in, which way do I turn the turnbuckle on each side and app how much.

I just want to add the smallest amount.

Thanks

Can't you tell by just looking at the threads?

You might want to give it a little while to see if it starts feeling better once you are used to it. But FWIW, when I have an alighment done I tell the techs to end up just on the "in" side of zero rather than the "out" side of zero.

Ok I went one turn in on each end, Is that a large or little adjustment?

My car is still up on the stands.

Ok I found some info, from a SUBIE board, 8mm of toe is one turn, I went back to a 1/4 turn in both sides


Going for a drive

Not sure what a 1/4 turn equates to, but the car felt better.
