toe in out / camber question.
As the topic says. About to start putting nut covers on etc, so want to get this bit done before hand. What are you guys running front and back or
what do you recomend?.
Thanks

I am running zero toe and about 1 degree negative camber all round. This is in an Indy Blade aswell, seems to handle track OK
Cheers

I think that its common to add a bit of toe-in to the rears if you have IRS, to help high speed stability, toe-out would cause oversteer so probably
isnt advisable for the trip to the SVA!. If its a live axle then you might want to try toe on the front instead if it feels a bit fidgety or wanders
at speed

Just reread your 1st post. The setup I have on my car does NOT SELF CENTRE. I think you have to have so toe out on the front to get it to self
centre. Can't remeber exactly. Might be worth sticking same question in MK section.
Sorry for any confusion i have caused

Toe in will give stability. Toe out better turn in (lively). The jury is out as to whether toe improves self centring much. Self centreing should be
via caster. If possible shim out the lower wish bone to move it forwards and / or shim the top wishbone backwards.
This link may help
