[QUOTE="MFE, post: 4962894, member: 36397"] What you're doing is managing deflection of the A-arm. A little bit of toe-in, to zero toe-in, is ideal for high-speed braking. The more toe-out you have under braking the more unstable it'll be, and it's then, when braking forces are high, that the the A-arms are deflecting backward and the front suspension is compressed, that you'll add the most dynamic toe-out. So if you have stock rubber bushings in the A-arms you want some static toe-in, that way it'll toe out to less "in" or zero or very little "out". 1/4 inch toe-in is more than you can expect even the hardest high-speed braking to zero out, IMHO. What works best for your car is individual to your car, but too much static toe-in makes the car quite darty just off center. As you come off-center you load the outside tire...if that tire is toe'd in, all of a sudden it wants to add a turning force in the direction you're already going. You correct, the weight goes the other way, it wants to steer the opposite direction. Toe-out aids turn-in at the [i]very beginning[/i] of the turn and IMHO it's overrated. Trail-braking works better ;) [/QUOTE]
