Re: Alignment specs with a Quaife?

[Anthony Pelletier <vwnuts@yahoo.com>]

The reason you may not want toe out with a quaife is
that under high power the car will wander as you get
on the gas.  My friends 1.8t rabbit was very scary to
drive when he had 1/8" of toe out.  When ever he would
get on the gas is the surface wasn't perfectly smooth
or level the car would grab and drift.  I don't know
if it was a quaife problem or power problem but it was
nasty.  it was enought to pull you into on comming
traffice.  with the toe at 0" the car is much better.
