Toe in and camber figures in mm or inch

[Adam Vinnicombe]

Hi all I’m trying to find the toe/ camber figures for a 2001 new edge in mm or inches
Cheers all

camber is in degrees.

Ok so what about the toe in?

 

[Frank.JD.Perez]

also degrees

also also dont toe in. toe out

also also also toe out about .2* and run about -2* of camber if you have adjustability

Toe out I thought the new edge had toe in?
I’m still very new to all of this so could you please explain how differently the new edge will handle between toe in and toe out
Cheers mate

a quarter degree of toe out will help with turn in


What is toe?

Definition & Description
The toe angle is the direction the tires are pointed, in relation to the vehicle centerline, viewed from above.

Toe angle can be expressed in degrees or fractions of an inch. If the tires point inward, the angle is positive. This is also called “toe-in.” Tires that point outward have a negative toe angle. This is called “toe-out.”

How is it measured and adjusted?
For accurate alignment, special equipment is required. For experienced car guys, Wheel Alignment Tools and Wheel Alignment Parts are available. For most people, however, we recommend taking your vehicle to a reputable alignment shop.

How does it affect performance?
Toe angle is used to compensate for the “give” in the suspension bushings. It helps the tires run parallel to each other.

A RWD car pushes the front tires. Rolling resistance causes the tires to push back against the suspension. So, RWD vehicles use toe-in settings to offset this movement.

A FWD vehicle has the opposite issue. The front tires pull the car. The weight of the vehicle resists the forward movement. This causes the front wheels to pull forward against the suspension. So, FWD cars use toe-out settings to offset the movement.

The toe angle can also affect handling. More toe-in will reduce oversteer and improve stability at speed. More toe-out will reduce understeer.

Despite its benefits, the toe angle can have some draw-backs. Excessive toe settings can cause the steering to feel shaky and unstable. It will also cause excessive tire wear.

also (x4), dont close your mind off to thinking directly about your year and model. all 79-04 mustangs have more or less the same suspension design, so whatever you find will most likely be relevant to your car.

this thread should be helpful as well as these

take what makes sense, leave what doesnt apply and think on what you read so you can understand. ive spent a decade learning about the sn95 platform. lots of useful info out there

as.the front end dives in a corner, the suspension moves upward and the geometry changes the toe inward.

Toe out on the road and the car will feel “busy”. You won’t be able to relax on the steering wheel. 0 toe IMHO is as aggressive as I would consider for a street driven car. If you don’t do any track or autocross I wouldn’t even bother with that.
If you take the time to bumpsteer the car you can minimize toe change through the suspension cycle. Not by eye either, which is basically useless. Use an actual bumpsteer gauge.
