Is It Normal for SUV Rear Wheels to Toe Out?
1 Answers
SUV rear wheels toeing out is a normal condition. The toe-out of rear wheels can be visually identified or determined through a four-wheel alignment. Introduction to Rear Wheel Toe-Out: Rear wheel toe-out in cars refers to negative camber, which is commonly applied in sedans, performance cars, and supercars. More exaggerated negative camber is often seen in track racing cars because their cornering limits are much higher than those of ordinary cars. Function of Rear Wheel Toe-Out: This toe-out design is more common in race cars because it provides better grip and handling when cornering, especially for cars that emphasize performance handling. The toe-out is usually very noticeable. Generally, after modifying a car to have toe-out, the car's body and chassis will lower. Cars with toe-out often have particularly heavy steering systems. During straight-line driving, the contact area between the tires and the ground is smaller, the braking distance is longer, and tire wear is more severe. Disadvantages of Rear Wheel Toe-Out Design: The rear wheel toe-out design also has some drawbacks. Cars with this design will have significantly heavier steering. During straight-line driving, the contact area between the tires and the ground decreases, the braking distance becomes longer, and tire wear is more likely to worsen. Additionally, as the toe-out angle increases, these disadvantages will become more pronounced.
