![]() Hi,
I'm trying to adjust the front wheel's toe my car, to get the best one. After several drives with different settings and small adjustments, it looks like a good setting is when there is a “positive” toe (front wheels angle is «*open*») Do you think this is normal? I don't remember having read anything that mention a positive toe on a Haynes... So I'm wondering if there is something wrong... Any clue, idea, opinion is welcome ![]() Thanks a lot.

![]() I think toe setting is largely down to driver preference.
I prefer to run mine with a little toe-out. |

![]() I'm still playing around with my settings but I think I might get it professionaly setup by a company who work on these type ofcars on mass.

![]() I havent touched my tracking, but softening up the dampers a click or two all round made the world of difference to road driving.
Cheers Stot

![]() Thank you very much for all the answers.
It looks like I have found an "acceptable" setting, with a bit of toe out for what I can see. But it is reassuring to hear that some like a bit of toe "out", so I'm not the only one for whom it works. And yes, it is definitely a question of personal preference, I got that now. I'm still going to play with it along the way, as I'm not 100% satisfied yet, as well as trying different shocks' hardness settings, it is a good idea! Thanks again for the help ![]()

![]() Some toe out is genrally recommended for sevens. http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/t...p?h=0&t=525058
Toe out makes the car more eager to turn at the expense of some straight line stability. Myself, I've been driving around with 0.5° toe in, I should try toe out.

![]() Softening from where?! I've been driving around with all the dampers all the way to the left, occasionally hardening them by ~3 clicks for competitions. Also, for naughty skidding around cones leaving the front soft while hardening the rear several clicks helps (increases the oversteer).
