Be careful putting one tire straight if your front suspention has

Just curious Dave, how does a person set one tire straight and the other one
"toed in"? As soon as the car moves forward the tires will stabilize to
equal toe in on both sides.
Then it is much safer to set the wheels
so the gap measurement is the same or close to it on both sudes to get a
more accurate measurment. Normally you would not need any ackerman in a
race car for LSR as there is no intentional cornering at anything over 5
or 10 mph..
Why wouldn't anyone want Ackerman in their steering??? Is scrubbing tires in
turns becoming vogue?
