Track alignment

[maytag]

Alright, y'all who have alignments similar to mine (below) help me out here.

I noticed today that under extreme braking (end of a straight, before a slow corner) the front end would get "wiggly". I won't call it "squirrelly", cuz it didn't feel uncontrolled, but it definitely wiggled around on the brakes at the extreme.

Is this due to the zero-toe in front? Or is this a symptom of my caster being "out of spec"?

(Or, is this common with the NT01 tires? )

Most likely toe. When under heavy braking the car squats and the weight transfers to the front tires causing toe out. If you are running square NT-01s you can really put the car on it's nose and go significantly toe-out.

Two choices:

1. Re-align and increase your toe-in F/R to eliminate the wiggle under heavy braking.

2. Adapt your driving style a bit. As you enter a heavy braking zone, squeeze the brakes a bit earlier > allow for weight transfer > go full braking >then ease out of the brakes keeping the car totally settled as you turn-in.

Both methods work, #2 tends to be quicker over time.
