TOE OUT Passenger Only

So during some down time at work I went out to re-adjust my steering wheel to center and noticed that my passenger front it toed out quite a bit.



I know my tie rod is bent in a little, and that the steering wheel is leaning a little driver. I'm fairly certain I know when that happend.

Both are moderately easy enough fixes, but how do I toe in on side only? :thinking:

Turn your steering wheel a bit so that your passenger side tire is straight and your driver side tire will look toe out. My point is, you don't so much as have one side that is off but rather, you just have a front axle with your wheels (plural) toe out.

How did you get toe-out with a bent tie-rod? Wouldn't that cause toe-in?

Who knows but one of those wheels is leaning out! I'm just going to do the allignment as best I can and hope that's the issue.

It's very possible that you have some camber going on too. That can sometimes give you the illusion of toe-out as well.
