you should check out the suspension basics sticky/article in this forum... good basic info... If the jargon confuses you, we all understand the "unofficial" terms too (i.e. hanging the ass out, plowing, boucy as fawk, etc) :exnbp: So feel free to ask.

If I got a car from someone else I would always check that first. Having too much toe or not enough toe in the front and/or rear can make a car snap happy or push like a pig. I have my custom settings which I'm used to.

To be safe you want 0 toe front and rear. Having more toe out in the rear can cause tail happy wagging
