Got it. Makes sense.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Now going to section 1 on rear axle alignment, page 75, it says “if the rear edge of the wheel is closer to this (longitudinal) axis of the car than its front, the wheel is said to be toed out (-)”.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Then on page 76, Table 1. Rear Wheel Alignment, it says the rear wheel toe spec on a squareback is “-5 degrees 0 minutes, +/- 0 degrees 10 minutes”. If I read this correctly, this means the rear wheels are toed out 5 degrees.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>So my first question; Is this a misprint where it instead should read +5 degrees 0 minutes?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Secondly, why on earth would you want your rear wheels to be toed as much as 5 degrees? Wouldn’t you want them to be toed-in very little just like the front end?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Dave Pallo<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>’72 Square ~ Elwood<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Fairport, New York<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
