A recent battle with a curb left me with a slightly bent steering arm. A difficult fix for a backyard mechanic with no time. Nothing appears like like it's going to snap or anything so my thinking was to just adjust the alignment. Could feel a difference when I get past 100kms/hr. A co-worker told me to tape measure the middle thread on the front and rear of the tires to get a ballpark figure. Now bending the steering arm located on the back could only pull that in tighter, increasing toe-out? Correct? But when I read the difference it was 1 1/8" toe-in. (Sorry, the tape I grabbed didn't have metric.) I was told toe-in will make it more stable driving and cause a little more wear. I adjusted so there was a slight toe-out as suggested to me. I didn't notice any difference in corners, but the car actually felt faster on acceleration from a stop. Maybe it's just in my head.
Any suggestions?
