rear toe in?

Post by 360beast » 04 Jul 2016 05:41 pm

Hiya just got some 195/50/15 tyres on my ats cups and did a test fit and there seems to be some toe in on the rear right, can't get to the rear left for a week or so to check that side

What do you guys think?

In the last picture you can see the shadow from the arch going further over the tyre although this is probably just the flash from my phone.

Its going to be impossible to tell from photo's, if you are comparing for radius arm adjustment you can more easily check camber, or simply check the axle is horizontal from the side.

You do know the radius arm controls trade between toe-in and camber caused by axle rotation?

I wasn't checking/changing it, I just fitted my wheels and noticed it had toe in.
