Camber & toe

["Ben Channard" <zeroid@hotmail.com>]

	I was playing around with the eccentric bolt for adjusting camber on my 
mk.1 before I get a real alignment and would like to corroborate my 
observations with the experts.

	I increased negative camber and the car seems to have lost its tendency to 
self-center.  Is this an expected result?  Or did I also toe out my car 
(steering wheel is off center now)?

	Regarding toe, I've heard that rotating the eccentric bolt also affects 
toe.  True?  My car only has the adjustable tie rod end on one side which I 
haven't touched yet.  Can the rack be centered while also adjusting toe?

	I understand that negative camber is good for our cars but while that is 
good for the outside tire during a turn, isn't grip reduced for the inside 
tire?  If so, is the outside tire doing most of the work (grip-wise) during 
cornering?

Thanks for any information.  benton-----
