Trevor,
I guess I worded my comment badly. What I meant was that I was in error in thinking that the upper t/arm contributes to additional toe, where if anything it reduces the toe caused by the bottom t/arm. But I chose to ignore the effects of the upper t/arm because my figures are very approximate anyway. I guess I'm just trying in my own mind to understand how the current geometry can create such large amounts of dynamic toe, and how +ve castor can reduce it. I still don't think I have quite grasped it. I guess I'll just have to jack the rear of the car this weekend and do the practical stuff.
