Re: Wheel Alignment

If the front end of the radius rod is moved inboard so that it is at the same height as the inboard A arm pick up and the same distance from the middle line of the car. Then the toe will not change.

Close enough Russ, not always possible to get the forward end where you want it due to space restrictions. They become a very wide based wishbone and with some judicious juggling of pickups points a lot can be achieved, Caster adjustment will alter bump steer

Transverse shift alters the rate at which mass transfers. For the purpose of explanation let us assume that with no transverse shift the mass transfer is linear. With transverse shift the mass transfer becomes non linear. over to you now -:
