No Toe? Options

[MikeM]

Hi all...many of you have helped me try to find a vibration/shimmy in my car in past posts. Today as I was studying my records for this car, I looked at the last alignment printout. It shows NO front toe. As in - 0.12 degrees. Both sides. I think spec is like 20 minutes, or about 0.33 degrees.
Could this be the cause of my shimmy? What does NO TOE feel like?
Thanks,
Mike

You don't necessarily need a 914 specialist, just someone well experienced and good, a true alignment specialist. Believe me, if they're experienced they've seen it all. One of the oddest ones I remember was a bad ball joint that worked well except at one particular angle, when it would bind. That threw out its alignment from the other wheel and produced a shimmy until the ball joint got past that angle and moved freely again. Usually it's play in some part, this one was the opposite, a lack of play.

There's no real point to that story except that after you get past the obvious things like wheels, tires and play in the suspension things get more complicated, so the more experience looking at it the better. And to be clear, I wasn't the alignment guru, I was the kid who put the cars on the rack and set it up for him, then watched.
