I installed the turbo tie rods today. I made up a temporary string setup and here is what I measured. My measurements were made at the rim not the tire.
Drivers front. .062 toe in
Passenger front .070 toe in

Drivers rear .033 toe out
Passenger rear .062 toe in

I made no adjustments on the rear. I intend to make a better string setup. I will tackle the rear then. I am just unsure about where I should be measuring. If I am to have 1/8 total toe in the front and this is to be measured at the outer diameter of the tire, then I have too much toe. It seems there are so many different measurement methods, I get confused. Measure at the rim. measure outer diameter of the tire and of course degrees. I have been having problems with my car eating tires. The fronts would scallop. I had is aligned at a tire shop last year and it was better but not fixed as I am trashing some tires after 10K. These are on the rear now and good tires are on the front.
