Wheel alignment toe setting.

Post by Gholdwayne »

So at the moment my pass side rear toe is out by 3.8 which means cornering ultra hard to the right can make me oversteer and spin out.

The guy doing my alignment said that the bolt adjustment in that corner is maxxed out and cant be put to 0 so.....

Looks like something is bent... I think... Would replacing the control arm fix this? What other possible solutions are there?

I reckon the adjuster bolt & its eliptical washer will be chewed out, just replace that. It connects the first of the 2 dog bone links (larger one) from the rear trailing arms to the chassis. Plenty of pics towards the end of the suspension thread.

Just run a bit more negative Camber on that wheel lol, surely more negative camber is better than a fuckload toe out?
