[urq] Alignment Toe Specs

[Louis-Alain RICHARD]

Yes Bill,
 
Locking the diffs doesn’t change the behaviour. It really fells like too
much toe-out in front. One wheel is grabbing until the car rotates, then the
other takes charge, etc. And this happens only on dusty roads, read very
slippery roads.
 
>From the last alignment, I have a printout of the numbers and all are within
Phil’s specs. But none is exactly ON the spec.
 
Before forking another 60$ to the shop, I will try to measure toe (F and R)
with the marks-on-the-floor/plus-lead-weight-method.
 
Must now find a clean floor

even with your diff's locked? with my diff's locked my bitch drives like she
could drive up a rutted ski jump with no problem on studded snow tires, my
street tires are another story, predictable fun.

MEE TOO!

My car is stock, and I had it aligned (twice) last year.  But now that the
streets are slippery (light snow), the car wander from left to right like a
pendulum (or an old Porsche 911...).
Slow but constant movement, even the steering does a nice dance.
But it shows this behaviour only on snowy roads. On dry tarmac, car will
track straight and true.

How come?
Anybody has the same problem?
