 To check the steering geometry the toe-out angle is measured for a wheel wheel angle of the inner wheel of 20°, which can show larger deviations for correctly adjusted camber due to the following causes:

1. Toe-in has not been adjusted in the straight-ahead position of the steering gear so that uneven tie rod lengths have resulted 

2. Steering knuckle arm bent.

3. On accident vehicles too large deviations in the front end (frame-longitudinal member, frame-crossmember, wheel well or axle/engine subframe), which have an unfavorable effect on the adjustment range for camber and caster.
From this large differences in toe-out angle result on left and right steering angle of the wheels.
