I know the rear toe control arm controls the small amount of rear toe as the suspension gets loaded up, but how much toe does it put on the rear when fully loaded up.
my tyres on the back are starting to ware on the inside edge of the tyre. now some of this will be the camber and some will be the toe.
i carry a lot of stuff in the boot and the rear end is loaded up, there is about one or two finger gap from tyre to arch, so it is quite low even though it is not lowered.
So my real question is the following.
Is the rear internal edge of the tyre being warn by the negative camber, or the toe that is being applied when it is not actually needed due to the suspension being loaded up continuously by the amount of stuff i carry in the boot.
It is probably a combination of both but it would be good to know what the max toe is when suspension is fully loaded. or is there a easy way to measure it. i know you can get the camber measuring gadget that magnetically attaches to the brake disk to show the camber (kind of spirit level thing).
i had an idea to make an adjustable rear toe control arm, to combat unwanted toe, when lots of stuff is in the boot perminently.
All help welcome.
