Default Re: Rear Trailing arm toe.

It lifts from the changes in toe that a 3 link has. Just like a TTB Ford front end.

There will be some minor torque effect through the chassis from the drivetrain, but I don't think that would have nearly the effect of the toe.

FOrward mount point is higher than the rear hub centerline. Under acceleration you are leveraging the rear up as the wheel tries to "drive" under the front mount point.GOt to go now.Post your objections!
