Does toe angle change much with suspension travel?

[GTP]

I get good results using toe plates up against my tires with the car on the ground.
But I am considering buying these bolt-on toe angle tools. The thought occurred to me that raising the car and removing the wheels causes suspension droop, which may or may not change the toe angle. I could support the suspension at ride height, but then it starts to become "an ordeal".

Anyone know for sure whether the toe angle changes much with suspension travel?

Yes it does. You have to set your toe at ride height. You could set your toe once at ride height lift it and measure the difference. Record the measurement and use that from them on.

Yeah, I thought of that idea too.
I think I may be solving a problem I don't really have.

Agree, your chasing a problem you already have a solution for.

I'd bet there is some small difference in how the pictured method varies from your current method, but I don't know how much it would actually be.

Technically toe change as camber change
It can be toe in or out depending on the location of the tie rod and obviously depending on camber going positive or negative
