It's wheel alignment time for my 68 beetle (IRS). Due to the car being older than the alignment people I am thinking I will need to tell them what to set it at. So what toe in is everyone running ?
Thanks Gordon.

from memory the front is half a degree toe in. Unsure about the rear but seen on Aircooled.net I think a good write up of more performance orientated settings. 2 degrees toe in sounds familiar for the IRS setup.

madness is in the eye of the beholder 👍

Take it to a steering specialist, not a tyre seller, as they should know what to do.

Good luck
(you'll need it.)

I read it on samba, so it must be correct.

Sometimes Volkswagen dealers sell spare parts. Amazing isn't it!😂

1mm total toe in at the front, 2mm total toe in at the rear.👍
