Set the toe today, which is quite a lot of work if you have to adapt the parts prior to assembly and setup. First I had to cut the steering rack extensions. Those provided from Westfield with the wide track kit are a little bit too long, I cut three threads on every side. Then there is only one half nut delivered per side. To fix the extensions you need two. Starting from a full nut, I lathed two more.
Toe in toe out can now be set and after some driving controlled again and set anew if required. The graph shows what exactly this setting means. It is mostly responsible for the cars ability to corner. Toe out makes the car turn easier, toe in gives better straight on stability. The graph shows extreme settings, in reality we talk about 1 or 2 degrees.
The steering hub is covered with a bellow to prevent dust and dirt to enter.
Cheers.
