#8330, "RE: What's the difference between toe and camber?"
In response to In response to 6


          

You got what camber is, and toe isn't too much pos camber, its the left/right positioning of the wheel. Like when you steer the steering wheel, the tires move left to right, that's toe. Too much neg camber will destory your tires within several months if off really bad. Incorrect toe will also, but it will have a greater effect on how the front end handles. After i put on my camber kit, my toe was way off, i could have the steering wheel pointd perfectly straigh, and the front tires were like this \/ (as if you were looking at the car from directly above it, not the side) but not as much as that really looks there. The steering was all out of whack, pulled, felt loose, and the steering wheel woudl kick back when i went over bumps. NOt good. With front and rear camber kits, I got a good alignment and now my alignment is right within factory specs. IF you get the front camber kit and put that in, it WILL make your toe go off, even if its now in spec.
