Some of us have been discussing the 914 rear suspension offline and I measured my toe curve yesterday. I figured I'd share it with the club for discussion.
The axle height scale is in inches and the zero is with the arm level. Attached image(s) |

No inference required... it's right there on the chart.
Yes, level is a good compromise, but axle slightly low is better (like -0.5) so you minimize the toe change in jounce, even with a slight toe out condition. But, it still is not what you want.... zero toe change and more camber gain is more appropriate. Chris-How did you decide level was appropriate? Do you have some measurements to share, too? BTW... the curve changes depending on the relative heights of the inboard and outboard chassis mounting. |
