Bra Trike toe in or toe out?
Mate has got a 2cv based bra triking style kit car.
he has just got hold of some new track rodends and needs to do the tracking.
as these are the drivin and steering wheels he was told toe out...
toe out makes any thing nervous and unpredictable.
what is the general concensos of the way the tracking should be set?
thanks in advance

Toe on FWD is generally considered to be best set between neutral and 1 degree of toe out as when power is supplied to the wheels they pull themselves
'in' making them closer to dead straight.

With FWD the front wheels pull the car along. Compression of the suspension bushes will turn static toe out into parallel wheels. I can't see
how a single rear wheel would affect it so the general advice would be a good starting point. If he doesn't like it, he could try reducing it a
bit and see if it improves.

A lot of older fwd cars use toe-out
