EFFECTS OF TOE ADJUSTMENT

FRONT TOE
Increasing (more toe-in)
• Makes car easier to drive

Decreasing (less toe-in, or more toe-out)
• Decreases understeer
• Increases steering at corner entry
• Faster steering response
• Less stable under acceleration
• Makes car more diffi cult to drive

REAR TOE
Increasing (more toe-in)
• Increases understeer
• More stable exiting on-power at corner exit and braking
• Less chance of losing rear traction
• Decreases top speed
Decreasing (less toe-in)
• Less stable at on-power corner exit and braking
• More chance of losing rear traction
• Increases top speed
