Oh please. first it is an SUV. Camber in spec is fine, and definitely you want negative in the rear. But toe? you really think that helps 'turn in and cornering' in a way that makes a bit of difference in a lumbering SUV??? You're kidding yourself.

These are not sport sedans, they are not track cars. The whole 'toe helps turn in' is a canard that isnt really applicable to an SUV.


OP- those specs are pretty odd. They look like their specs not BMW specs.

I do not like how the front cambers are out of whack- one neg, one positive?!

Set the toe to 0.01- 0.02" each wheel. Balance the front camber. Zero is fine. Rear at -1.x fine.

Do not fall for this nonsense about handling, turn in and cornering- with TOE...
