What is "toe"?
It's like the tips of your feet: if the wheels point slightly outward, that's toe-OUT (what the Slingshot needs). Move the control and watch the vehicle from above:
How to measure it (the key part)
Mark the center of each front tire, measure across the front (A), then roll the vehicle until the wheels turn half a revolution and measure across the rear (B). Press Simulate:
Worked example — move B and see if it stays in spec (0 to 3.2 mm toe-out):
Adjust by turning the tie rod
Each wheel moves with a threaded tie rod. Press to see how lengthening or shortening it changes the wheel angle:
Wheel ended up crooked? Center it
Lengthen one tie rod and shorten the other by the same amount: the wheels turn together and the steering wheel straightens, but total toe stays the same. Press to straighten:
Detail: how to make the chalk mark
Recalibrate the steering angle sensor (SAS)
The Slingshot measures how far you turn the wheel with a sensor. After touching the steering you must zero it with the Digital Wrench scan tool (rack angle 0° ± 15°).
| 1 | Level ground · 28/32 PSI · wheel straight and strapped |
| 2 | Chalk-mark · measure A (front) and B (rear) after half a turn |
| 3 | Toe = A − B → between 0 and 3.2 mm (toe-out). Adjust with the tie rods |
| 4 | Wheel crooked? lengthen one tie rod and shorten the other equally |
| 5 | Calibrate the SAS at the dealer (0° ± 15°) |
You can do steps 1–4 yourself. Step 5 needs the dealer's scan tool.
