I apologise if this covered somewhere else. I've searched but can't see what I'm looking for. What is the Toe In setting for a MK2 Superb Estate 4x4 ?

 

My car has done 181,000 miles, I've done about 2000 miles in the car since I bought it.  I'm in the middle of changing most of my front suspension components for new parts. I didn't pay much attention when I took the front wheels off and I didn't check the tracking before I started removing the front dampers. I know one front tyre was starting to show wear on the inside edge I've now noticed the other tyre has also got wear on the inside edge. Assuming the tyres have worn like this while on the front of the car then the front wheels have too much toe out? 

 

So when the new track rod ends arrive on Tuesday (one track rod end has a small amount of play) I'm thinking I'll set the front tracking to 0º to -0.1º toe in.

Had full 4 wheel alignment done on my facelift 4x4 estate back in the summer after rear suspension was rebuilt.  Just checked the Hunter print out and it shows green band for toe as 0º00' to 0º10' and the pictogram suggests the angle is toe in so that I think means your proposed tracking settings are OK as 10' is equivalent to 0.1666º (I think!)

Usually when I set the tracking on most of the cars I've ever owned I set with a small amount of "Toe In". My understanding being that the force being put on the front tyres when driving is to usually try and force the wheels to "Toe Out" the force varies in relation to the speed at what your traveling. Something I noticed over 10 years when I was driving around 3000 miles a month. At the kind of mileage in a short time period you can soon start notice how your front tyres are wearing.

 

I've got a laser alignment tool which has now paid for itself many times now over the years. I use it every time I change a front suspension component. It can be a bit fiddly on your own and best used in the shade so you can see the red alignment dot.
