Quaife Limited Slip Differential

Hi Guys,

I have fitted a Quaife LSD and left me front wheel alignment as standard.
I remember reading an article last year saying that it is recommended to run slight tow-in of the front.
Can anyone who has fiited a LSD confirm whether I need to modify the factory spec. front wheel alignment?
Under full power it does tend to want to follow the power transfer until the diff locks-up.

Please let me know,
SETOX

I know nothing about this subject, but as a half hearted attempt to jump your unanswered question back to the top, can I ask if you've searched to see if this has been covered before? I couldn't find it, but wondered if you'd tried?

Maybe if you spell it toe in and not tow in.

The LSD in itself shouldn't require an alignment difference. In conjunction with track oriented suspension tweaks a toe in change may be called for. Rear toe I know is done front I really don't know about.

New Zealand Quaife - Toe-In

I have the Quaife fitted to my car and because it does weave a little under heavy acceleration, I've got a little toe-in on the front to increase stability.
