An improved method and apparatus for setting the toe-in on motor vehicles during assembly thereof is disclosed which includes a sensor assembly operative to accurately sense the position of a nut runner prior to torquing of a locking jam nut so as to thereby ensure the full desired torque loading is applied to the jam nut. The method includes the step of rotating the nut runner in a reverse direction a predetermined distance subsequent to ascertaining its position so as to provide a distance of travel to assure alignment of the wrenching surfaces of the nut runner and jam nut.
