Rear toe?

[james3004]

Not sure if it's been asked before but what should the rear toe be on a Sierra based car, I'm thinking 0 but I doubt that's correct

That is what I did mine at 0 toe and 0 camber, straight up and down and side to side

zero toe, never ever toe out on the back. I'll probably put 1/4 deg rear toe in on mine and a little negative camber but haven't got round to playing with it yet.

Front Camber 1.5 - 2.0 Degrees Negative (Radials) 0.5 - 1.0 Degrees Negative (Crossply Slicks)
Front Toe in/out 0.5 - 1.0 mm Toe in
Front Damping 2 - 3 click from fully soft
Rear Ride Height Approx 170mm - 175mm approx 10mm - 15mm higher than front
Rear Camber (seiw only) 1.0 Degrees Negative 0.5 - 1.0 Degrees Negative (Crossply Slicks)
Rear Toe in/out 0.5 - 1.0 mm Toe in

I think I'll set it at 0 degrees then!
How does degrees relate to mm?

It's fairly easy to set both the front and rear to zero toe you just need a 40ft ball of string. Tie it so that it makes a big loop and place it about 200mm up from the ground around all four tyres, the string should be tight against the edges of the tyres. Get on your hands and knees and you should see the difference in the gaps between the string and the edges of the tyres.

this is the string method phil is talking about works really well used to use it for setting up my race cars back in the day

Its a good starting point but after a shake down it would be worth checking and perhaps experimenting with. Out of the box it will probably be good but with some fine tuning it will be brilliant. There is a utube vid somewhere of a guy and a westie messing with set up at a track, the difference in handling when he finished was quite amazing and it was all in the small detail.

its only easy if it's adjustable, which on the rear it's not.
