Toe in is more to eliminate twitchiness. Tramlining is a different phenomenon.I have heard that the oem ford toe alignment was toed slightly inwards...to reduce tramlining. Then I hear that drag racers want the toe set to zero. Then the track folks sometimes set the toe slightly outwards. What's optimum for various applications ? Right now I'm toed slightly outwards..along with aprx -1.7 deg of camber on both fronts. What's worse for tire wear? I'm lost with all the conflicting info.
At -1.7° you could even run minimal toe in without sacrificing much peak lateral grip.
Zero toe on the machine could end up either 'in' or 'out' in operation depending on bushing compliances (how much and where).
