toe-out
49mm
Never run front toe-in.
The vehicle is equipped with medium (4mm) sway bars on the front and rear.
Front Toe
Characteristics
toe-out
toe-out (shorter steering rods) increases steering response when entering the turn and straight line stability; however, it
will decrease on-power steering
Sway Bars
Characteristics
thinner
front
increases front off-power traction, but has less on-power steering
Rear
increases rear traction and decreases on-power steering
thicker
front
decreases off-power traction with smoother steering entering the turn, but has more on-power steering
Rear
increases stability in turns and on-power steering
Differential
Light Weight Oil
Heavier Weight Oil
front
Increases off-power steering. Oil that is too thin will make diff
action inconsistent
Increases off-power stability and on-power steering
Center
has less forward drive and can unload the drivetrain easier
under acceleration, which can be good on rough and slick tracks
has more acceleration and increases on-power steering, but
decreases off-power steering. thicker center diff oil is better on
high traction/smooth tracks
Rear
has more side traction and increased steering in the middle of
a turn
has less steering in the middle of the turn but more forward
traction
tip:
Thicker sway bars are more stable on high-speed, high-traction tracks.
