that will make it drive awful where did you get that info

toe in 2degree for quick turning less high speed. or little less for straight line.


without decent rollbar and tie bars it will be naff what ever you do.

ideally you want to copy my settings that I made up for 3 different uses. but you will need better parts fitted.

Any pointers on the rear as I've just fitted adjustable tie bars.

adjustable rear tie bars are pointless without being able to adjust it all.

if you adjust caster it will effect toe and camber. cant adjust one without the other.

all you can do is make the best of it so pointless giving settings as you wont be able to get them anyway.

Eh, surely it makes it easier to replicate Fords total f--k up then than having to take it all apart to add or subtract washers.
Surely a tad more constructive to say point them in a bit or dead ahead than the usual no point in telling the muppets anything

Versus - where can we see details on your 3 different settings?

I need to get mine setup as it drives & handles crap at the mo

I have
MEF motorsport adjustable TCA's
fully Polybushed
front strutbrace

that sufficient?

its just a fast road car

Thanks mate

I've always thought fwd cars had a tiny bit of toe out and that toe out gives you better turn in whereas toe in gives you more straight line stability?

if you toe out... when you put power down they will toe out even more.

if they toe in. when you put power down the wheels end up flat.

meaning most rubber on road.


my guides are available but I cant posts links to my site as im not a trader so you need to find them yourself or ask someone for a link.

What are the recommended toe, camber and caster all around the car?

Chas

This is what I have understood with any FWD car I have owned. Upon accelerating the front wheels are meant to toe in, or barely toe in if running on nylon bushes/ball bearings. I understood that RWD cars had their front wheels toe out slightly when on the move. I can see more toe in potentially reducing torque steer but also accelerating tyre wear on the outside of the tyres.
