- I have a question about the alignment on a front drive car. Almost everything I've read and heard has recommended running toe out in the front. In a few places though, I've have seen toe in recommend

- Please bear in mind that what follows is nothing but what I think, and most people would call me an idiot. In fact, a lot of people have already... :-) In my mind the major thing toe (in or out) doe

- I think there's an additional effect that's worth discussing. Assuming a car with reasonable ackerman (something close to 100%), then adding static toe-out causes the inside front tire to turn too fa

- That makes a lot of sense. I agree that I dunno to what degree it would affect things, but it would account for both the turn-in improvement and a mid-corner understeer (since the inside front tire

- Interesting. I have recently been swayed to the belief (it didn't take too much - a McKamey instructor's exclamation) that my car has too much toe out and that is what causes me to have this "cliff"

- Is there any relationship with toe to camber? if I have more neg camber less toe or vice versa? I have a neon that will be getting aligned tommorow -3 front -1 rear and 1/8th" toe out. With 225/50-13

- While we are on the subject of alignments, I noticed that Kumho stated their tire LIKES to have the max positive caster a car can give. Any thoughts on this? Daniel Ledford 99 Mitsu Eclipse GSX

- Mark Sirota replied: There is another effect too. The inside tire turns further faster _before_ the weight transfers. So, that tire grabs more on turn in. It is easy to think of ackerman as dynamic t
