    Default Toe in

    Hi all,
    Leaving in a sec for alignment shop. I'm inclined to ask them to dial in the toe at the high end of the tolerance to give good straight ahead driving on the crowned roads around me.
    Any quick thoughts on this?
    Thanks, Ross

    Thanks guys. If I'm NOT logged in I get the attatchments.Go figure.
    Loaded it up with a couple cast iron V-8 cyl. heads and a big vise on passenger side and my own carcass on the left.
    Funny, the guy's machine shows a pictogram with the seats loaded with 50kg. each side and 150kg. in the rear. You could tell they never do it though by the reaction to my preparation.
    Everything was in spec. except toe due to a tie rod change and it took about thirty seconds to correct. Total toe @ .15"
    70 bucks if anyone is interested.

    I have always thought that one should only load it up with weights if they are going to be driving the car with that much weight. I mainly drive my car with just me in it, so it seems like it would be silly to calibrate the suspension for a much heavier load.
