      I think you'll be able to visualize this...

      Let's say you have a cambered rear end... 1* @ 0* pinion angle.

      As the pinion angle becomes more negative (pinion down), some of the negative camber becomes toe-in. The extreme of this would be at 90* pinion down, at which point there would be NO negative camber. There would, however, be 2* of toe-in (1* per wheel).

      As the pinion angle becomes more positive (pinion up), some of the camber becomes-toe out (this is VERY BAD!).

      When I bought my cambered rear axle I had the camber set at 0 pinion angle. When the pinion angle gets set at 2-3* down, I'll have a bit of toe-in without getting into toe-out under acceleration.

      IOW camber+rotation=toe.
      Yes, you are worried about toe.

      L-D 3-link (working on the front end, too), SCP spindles, Wilwood brakes. I'll be working on it for A WHILE!
