The toe angle difference is the angle adjustment of the inner cornering wheel relative to the outer cornering wheel when negotiating a curve.
Steering is designed in such a way that angular position of wheels changes as steering lock progresses.
A correctly adjusted toe angle difference produces equal values for left and right lock with consideration of factory tolerances.
Toe angle difference provides information on corresponding operation of steering trapezoid for left or right steering lock from center position.
