Leaf Spring Suspension-Orientation question

[David Pozzi]

First gen Camaro springs are toed-in. I can check on how much for reference. I'm not sure I have a reference book that shows why. Earlier GM designs for front seem to have the lower A arm holes aimed at the center of the differential. early GM rear axles used the torque tube design and toe in of the springs may have been used on those to either reduce binding or reduce toe steer of the rear axle but I'm guessing.

When an arched spring flattens it get's longer and steers the rear axle, the toe in of the springs may have helped.
