not locost related but you lot here know your stuff.

Im fititng an engine in the back of my renault turbo, i have used the front subframe of the same car in the back. So its mcpherson struts and a lower wishbone.

This leaves me with the problem of the wheels turning as there is now steering rack at the rear. A friend told me i should aim to abtain 1-2 degrees of toe in when the suspension compresses.

Is this true?

Comments please.

we just my mates zcars mini last night, we put 0.5 - 1 toe out on it as the wheels will toe in when you put the power down.

^^^ Exactly!

No troubles/unstability with braking with toe-out?

Follow the line from the middle of the damper through the pivots on the upright to the floor & determine your 'scrub radius'. If this is near the middle of the tyre you should need very little 'toe'. If it's inboard then a little toe in would be indicated, depending on the compliance of the joints.
Too much toe will wear out your tyres & knacker the wheel bearings.

Any toe out on the rear is not a good thing...IanS

Yes --- Quite a lot of toe-in otherwise you will visit the ditch a lot.
