[QUOTE="mark, post: 1472051, member: 16354"] Not being an alignment specialist, how much does toe-out effect handling. My rig has always been a bit of a hand-full at "high" trail speeds. Kind of floaty-wallowy. Not a big deal at crawl speeds, but since I built it to play/race/tuff truck, I kind of would like it to handle a little better. I'll have to check caster, but I'm pretty sure its good as when I build the front axle I made sure to dial it back, however when I built the tie-rod I remember messing up and it ended up a little toe-out. I need to cut it down but I haven't yet. How does a little toe-out effect things? Front locker probably doesn't help, nor the tires in the single digits right now, but the symptoms I'm dealing with are when your flatfooting it in loose traction (say, such as a snow covered residential neighborhood) the whole truck gets very floaty and light in the front end and I end up correcting side to side quite a bit and borderline fishtailing most of the way. Especially noticeable if your powering out of a turn or started sideways (never happenes :D). I'd really like it to be rock solid. Noticed it racing at straddleline last year and also bombing the logging roads at Naches last summer. [/QUOTE]
