Either will cause similar tire wear, however when joints get loose the default on rear axle on BMWs is to toe out and shred inside edge.
I calculated my toe to exceed 1.5° before I replaced the wishbone and ball joint
I used to use .15° toe on the front but now maybe 1/3 of that. I don't use "minimum" because of dynamic loading I don't want it to cross to toe out. |
Okay...*sigh...*
Yeah it makes sense as parts wear, that the natural force going down the road PUSHES the tires out. So therefore, it is better to be slightly toe in on the rear axle. Another advantage of toe in is that it will wear the outside of the tires as oppose to the inside.
Is this the same concept for toe in on the front axle? When having slight toe in on all axles, I'm guessing this allows for straight-line tracking and improve stability...?
