Proper Toe-in for a lifted cart
Once again I'm asking for advice on my newbie 06 CC DS. I just replaced the hubs on both sides and was looking at the cart and thought the tires looked toed-in more then they should. I was reading past posts the last few nights, and I thought I remember the magic number being 1/8 inch.
When I measured the toe-in on this cart it's dead smack exact 3/4 inch on both sides. So the question I have is I'm guessing someone set this up on purpose, and should it really be that much? Does it have something to do with having a lift kit on it? It really doesn't look that odd to me, and drives fairly nice, but does wander some. |

Re: Proper Toe-in for a lifted cart
Looks like you have more issues with camber than toe. To me it looks like the toe is more out then in from the picture you have posted. 3/4" is pretty significant and would cause issues no doubt.

Re: Proper Toe-in for a lifted cart
When you came up with 3/4" inches what is the procedure you used to come up with that number?

BTW what do you see that makes you think camber is also an issue ? |

Re: Proper Toe-in for a lifted cart
Reason I'm asking is that I've never heard of anyone setting toe with a framing square.

Re: Proper Toe-in for a lifted cart
I stand corrected.
I guess my question should really be camber not toe in. That 3/4 inch is the camber. So what I'm really asking then is 3/4 inch appropriate? I'll measure toe in tomorrow and figure out where I'm at in that world. Thanks for the correction. |
