2023 C5 of the Year Finalist - Modified
Default Looking forTire Alignment Spec

I just replaced my front and rear outer tie rods. I did my best to install the new outer tie rods back to the same location that the old ones were located. That said, I'd like to measure the tires front and rear toe to make sure the wheels are tracking correctly. after my installation. Can anyone advise me as to what the correct C5 (2004) front and rear toe measurements should be?

Thanks for any info you can provide.

So it's saying front is 51 deg toe in, and rear is 82 deg out?
I was going to just measure the toe using a tape measure so a degree measurement isn't what I have the capability to measure.
Can anyone provide a measurement in inches?
Thanks.

What I uploaded on my phone and laptop specs look different ??…I just took a screenshot here !!…I really wouldn’t use a tape measure for this somewhat critical measurement …use an alignment shop !!
