Default B4 adjusting rear toe?

Another day... Another question.

So how do you adjust rear toe with the b4. Do you adjust it with alloy rear hubs or with different arm mounts? Using ally hubs seem a bit expensive.

When using the rear hubs what arm mounts are needed for it to be at that angle? Is it the stock 3 degrees?

Thanks

The stock set-up is 3 degs.

You can use the B4.1 inner mounts. (AS7487)

They give you 2.5°, 3°, 3.5°, 4° options.

Or you can change the hubs.

Generally more toe-in more rear traction.

But if you combine a 0° rear hub with a 3° mount does that give you a set up of 0° or 3° of toe.

I've read it's better to use a combination of arm and hub because to much toe on the arms makes them travel in a strange arc so if you want 3 degrees do 2.5 on the am and use half degree hubs to give 3 total.

They all add up, 2 arms and half hubs gives 2.5 not 1.5.
So 2.5 inner mount and 0.5 hubs is 3 etc etc.

Ahh all starting to make sence now. Did think it was weird that it would cost £30 to change the toe angle. Bit strange the setup sheet only makes refrence to the hubs and not the mounts.

Thanks for clearing that up.
