That is normal, even with a good alignment.

I went to zero toe, front AND rear, and I'm very pleased with the greater feeling of stability. Turn-in doesn't seem too sharp or too numb, and the car now handles more neutrally... slight understeer at entry, progressing to neutral drift as the corner tightens, with power-on oversteer readily available. Specs are below. I don't have enough miles, yet, to determine how it's going to affect tire wear.

BEFORE
FRONT LEFT RIGHT
Toe 0.06 -0.25
Caster 5.50 5.70
Camber -0.50 -0.40

REAR LEFT RIGHT
Toe 0.20 0.38
Camber -1.50 -1.40

AFTER
FRONT LEFT RIGHT
Toe -0.02 -0.01
Caster 5.60 6.10
Camber -1.50 -1.50

REAR LEFT RIGHT
Toe 0.01 0.00
Camber -2.00 -2.20

Mine were done at 10K and 15K, no track (at the time).

Confused question:

Tire Rack ( http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/com...on/racepres.htm ) and other say to move towards toe-OUT to reduce oversteer. I've always thought it was toe-IN that does it. Can someone explain this?

I think Tire Rack screwed up front & rear on that page.

Toe out in the front should increase OVERsteer.

But it is no different if the tires point away from each other...they still fight each other.
