      Lots of different opinions around on this one. Some argue it's like having dynamic toe out to help improve turn-in. Others argue that it doesn't help except at very low speeds and results in some high speed cornering loss. With a heavy front engine car it probably helps more since they want to plow a bit anyway on turn-in just from the extra weight over the front wheels. Seemed to help on my car to increase it a lot, but that's just my opinion.

      Some of the early Steve Smith books for old stock cars goes into it in more detail for that type of car. The text from Milliken mentions it too.

      Good luck
