Toe
If you were able to view the front tyres of a vehicle from above the car, you
would expect them to look exactly parallel to each other. In fact, they rarely
are. The difference in distance between the front edge of the tyres and the rear
edge is called toe. Toe describes how close to parallel the two tyres are, and
whether they are toed-in (closer at the front of the tyre) or toed-out (closer
at the rear of the tyre). The goal of toe is to provide proper tyre wear through
various driving conditions. The amount of toe your suspension is set to varies
by the drive layout of your vehicle, driving preference, and car's handling
characteristics.
On a rear-wheel-driven car, acceleration forces on the tyre tend t o push the
front tyres back slightly in the wheel well. Static toe-in will result in a
zero-toe situation at speed. For a front-wheel-driven vehicle, the front wheels
will pull themselves forward in the wheel wells under acceleration. This happens
because as the (driven) front wheels claw for traction, they pull themselves
forward, dragging the rest of the car along. For this situation, static toe-out
will result in a zero-toe condition at speed. Assuming that the rest of the
suspension is correctly aligned and maintained, and the tyres properly inflated,
toe-in will result in additional understeer for the car. In a corner the inside
front tyre will turn at less of an angle than the outside tyre. Additionally,
excessive toe-in will result in premature tyre wear through feathering, and
increased fuel consumption. Conversely, toe-out will result in additional
oversteer for the vehicle. This occurs as the inside front tyre turns at a
greater angle than the outside tyre. Thus, in a corner, the inside tyre is
trying to turn even more than the heavily-loaded outside tyre. Excessive toe-out
will also result in premature tyre wear due to feathering, and increased fuel
consumption.
CAMBER – WHAT IS IT?
Camber is the inclination of the wheel from the vertical when viewed from the
front. When the top of the wheel leans out you have positive camber, lean in
equal’s negative camber.
Static negative camber is used to compensate for body roll, body distortion and
tyre roll under when cornering. Stiffer bodies and tyre sidewalls are in and
unnecessary suspension compliance is out. Therefore the previous requirements
for large amounts of static negative camber are disappearing. Whiteline strut
braces are good for maintaining camber angles under cornering loads as they
further minimise body flex.
Its important to highlight the fact that camber settings are ultimately a
personal thing. That is, Whiteline can provide an indicative range to start from
but the final number will depend on your driving style, average driving
conditions, tyre size and many other things. You need to start with a relevant
number, then monitor tyre wear and compensate if necessary.
Whiteline have a range of camber adjusting products available to achieve the
optimum settings.
