Tramline much?

[Elp_jc]

You can put 20-deg of toe and if there's gravel and undulating grooves, any car will tramline, period. Depends WHERE it's tramlining.

A little more toe will help eliminate tramlining - shoot for the max permissible toe on each side. I think the spec is 0.20* ± 0.20* so somewhere just under 0.40* It will drive great, but you'll scrub the outside edges of the tires a bit.

According to the paperwork I got, which is supposedly generated by VIN, -.20 to +.20 is the spec for TOTAL toe. Each side is -.10 to +.10.

I can tell you now from experience, with toe that far out of spec, tramlining will be severely exaggerated. At 0.0 and -0.1, only extreme road irregularities affect the car, and turn in is still awesome.

Also, fwiw, on smooth pavement, I noticed no issue prior to the new alignment.

...and subframe inserts.

i did these 2 simple things and it reduced instability of the rear by like 95%.

I will pick those up, my son started working at a Ford store. Tell me more about the subframe inserts please. Thanks in advance.

Was really bad with the Michelin PS4S on the Bullitt....had to get new tires last week, went with Continental Extreme Contact DSW06...really calmed things down.

I have had Zero tramline issues on my modified Bullitt on 265/285 MP4S. Far from stock though so ymmv.

I know this has to be running through a lot of Mustang driver's minds. Its quite a struggle sometimes. I really notice it when going from brand new sections of pavement and then driving over worn sections. Add some windy fall weather and, honestly officer... I haven't had anything to drink. Any strategies to minimize this? I know the GT500 supposedly has changes to the front suspension to reduce this issue. Thoughts?

Actually, that is not true.
Not a big deal, just correct, or buy a Prius, maybe better option for your struggling.

No, you are wrong.
You are just killing me, LOL.
