is -.30 total rear toe too much?

Just so we're not living in a world of alternate facts. I stand by what I posted earlier......+1 deg toe indicates a "toe in" condition.

Lol alternate facts!!! TireRack the tire pros and my alignment shop are full of shit then lol

Guess you need to square away FP and their pamphlet. They reference - as in and positive as out.

From Tire Rack. I'm finished here.....have a good day and enjoy your car!

Alignment machine I used says Toe-in is positive and Toe-out is negative, but it also uses "mm" for toe not degrees. For at least 20yrs I've been reading, hearing and saying the same + & - .

Interesting if Ford would go against the grain.
PDF looks like a typo for front toe: GT350 0.10 out; R 0.06 in... in & out can't both be positive. Rear toe might be typo also.

I've got:
Camber F/R 1*55'/1*33'
Toe F/R 0mm/0mm
Caster 7*50'

Works great for me. I rarely go over 120mph and never done over 140 with this alignment so i can't speak to 140+mph stability.

Camber F/R -1*55'/-1*33'
Toe F/R 0mm/0mm
Caster 7*50'

Opps need to add (-) on camber before that snowballs :headbonk:

Edit: converted

Camber F/R -1.92*/-1.55*
Toe F/R 0.00*/0.00*
Caster 7.83*

I think that's a typo, should be +0.30 toe in. Factory rear toe in is +0.15 I believe.

Like I said. I think this is all terminology confusion. The tirerack diagram shows toe in as lines converging in towards the car. So positive toe-in in degrees is negative??? Lol:headbonk:

 

[Zitrosounds]

Positive toe = toe-in
Negative toe = toe-out

 

[Ctease]

Positive toe = toe-in
Negative toe = toe-out

:clap2:

Now what does changing rear toe effect?

 

[EF300]

Wait front toe, rear toe.... what about camel toe ?

 

[Zitrosounds]

So here is the FP settings again along with my alignment. If my alignment is correct then we are arguing differences in terminology. If my settings are incorrect and therefore FPs' settings, How so?

Ford Performance recommends -.30 total - .15 toe per side or rather, .30, .15 toe in per side.

its 0.30 +/-.15, if thats the correct spec. too many versions floating around

the range per side is

0.30+0.15 = 0.45

to

0.30-0.15 = 0.15

double those for total

The Ford spec I got online indicates rear toe range per side is 0.15+/-0.20

Nice summary here http://en.intraxracing.nl/techniek/camber,-caster,-toe-intoe-out/

Ctease, RadBoss,

Will you take a look at my alignment settings and the FP spec sheet I provided and tell me what you think? Right, wrong, good, bad?

With it now clarified that FP's alignment sheet is a type-o, your car with Toe-OUT in the rear could be quite evil and unsafe to drive.

I'd probably shoot for +.25 to +.30 toe-IN at the rear.
