I took my MK4 in for its initial alignment. I used the specs from F5 (caster 3 deg, Camber -0.5 deg). The alignment shop's electronic machine does Total Toe in degrees not inches. They adjusted it to -0.17 deg. I took the car out for a test drive and it tracked nice and straight. Does anyone know what 1/16" equates to in degrees? It steered great on the way home.

with a 25" tire, 1/16" = 0.1432* total. https://robrobinette.com/ConvertToeInchesToDegrees.htm

"They adjusted it to -0.17 deg". Are you sure about the minus sign in front of the 0.17. That would usually indicate toe OUT.

Your right it should be +0.17. It's setup for toe in. Thanks for the concern!
