    FWD normally have a touch of static toe out since the wheels being driven will pivot the control assembly inwards.

    Your toe figures look fine. How much rear wing are you running? Or could it be bump steer?

    Too many lows/too much offset/too much rubber?

    This is what I thought. Was explained that under power the wheels effectively pull themselves to be parallel.

    But surely on highway cruising this isn't the case?

    That's true and where my aligning knowledge stops.

    Nope wing and general high speed felt perfect before strut tops and alignment. However just had to replace the sway bar end links cause one was busted and just had a look to find they only put the front sway on medium not hard so its thrown the feeling I like and are partial to out of kilter. Will put it back to hard and see how that feels. So my front toe is ok?

    The wheels still have to pull the car against the drag on the body.

    Hmm. That should increase front end grip so you should then find the car oversteers more, so yeah!

    It doesn't look at all excessive
