Car Wonders After Alignment

[blake4591]

Mike,

Do you know what the toe was before you got it aligned? If it had some toe before the alignment and they took it all out that will cause a very noticeable effect. Toe helps to give the steering a stable feel and weight at speed by inducing a very slightly pre-loading on the tires. OEMs spec at least some toe, either in or out, in their alignment guidelines to make the car want to track straight.

I had about 1/16"-1/8" toe on the car when i put the knuckles on it. Now the car has very close to 0 toe. I will be adding more camber this weekend as well as getting the camber in the rear finally. I might add a bit more toe until im happy with how it handles. Will be doing lots of work to it this weekend.
