Is It Normal for SUV Rear Wheels to Toe Out? How to Determine?

[ZaneFitz]

Under normal circumstances, rear wheel toe-out can be visually identified, or a four-wheel alignment can be performed to determine. Additional information is as follows: 1. Negative Camber: SUV rear wheel toe-out refers to negative camber. This tire structure is more common in sports cars and race cars because racetracks have more curves. To achieve better ground grip, race cars adjust their rear wheels to a toe-out structure. 2. Purpose of Toe-Out: This toe-out configuration is commonly seen on racetracks because race cars require better grip and handling when cornering, especially those focused on performance. The toe-out effect is usually very pronounced. Generally, after adjusting a car to toe-out, the vehicle's body height lowers, and the chassis also drops. Cars with toe-out usually have a heavier steering system. During straight-line driving, the tire's contact area with the ground is smaller, braking distance is longer, and tire wear is more severe.
