[QUOTE="singlespeed, post: 175895, member: 264"] ^^^ is that toe out that your talking about, as your diagram would be showing a difference in camber, when viewed from the front with the road below. Ideally your tyres would sit square to the road, so theres maximum contact patch. However cars lean over when cornering and bushes etc flex when under load. Most cars will have some negative camber so the cornering force leans onto the tyre and brings it more vertical whilst cornering. Its a compromise between unduly wearing the inside edge and reduced grip whilst going straight, Vs grip whilst cornering. Worn topmount, worn lower arm bushes or wheel bearings etc can cause an increase in camber on one side. Toe angle ( angle from straight ahead when viewed from above). Most FWD cars have slight toe out when stationary, to compensate for the flex in bushes when driving. This ends up with the tyres pointing forwards when driving straight, so theres no (verrry little) side slip skidding of the tyres. Incorrect tracking can leave the tyres skidding sidewards and it doesnt take much to scuff the inside edge down. This could be from pothole damage or slack/play in the steering components or worn bushes etc as mentioned above. [/QUOTE]
