87 trx 4x. It is real squirrly at speed, on logging roads. Any one know what the proper toe in should be. Thanks for any help.

Should be TOE-OUT for stability not Toe-in. Generally speaking, about 1/4" of Toe-Out should work fine. Personally I prefer 1/4". I don't have the actual spec for your machine, but the average for 4X4 utility seems to be 1/4" to 9/16".
I have a procedure for front end alignment on the Tech Tips page of my website (link below ).

According to All-Terrain Vehicle 1988-1992 Maintenance Manual, 1st edition, Volume 2(Intertec Publishing) the Toe-In should be zero for the Honda TRX 350 and TRX350D.

Hope this helps.

Never go Toe-in, if anything get it as close to neutral as possible.
