    toe out makes the vehicle turn better

I know they set trucks up a little different if they are going to be hauling all the time.

    makes it more stable at speed also so it doesn't wander so much
    I'll take lots of over steer any day, under steer for me is sketchy

    When the front wheels are pulling they want to run in front of the car so that they now reduce the toeout effect. If there is a lot of a-arm slop or wear, then under power with front wheel drive on then the front wheels pull forward which pulls it back to a straighter 0 alignment.
    Maybe some mfrs with longer a-arms and/or softer bushings anticipate the movement and give the spec as it is. In real world alignment naturally gets more critical under power with speed.

    I can't speak for any other machine other than a Rhino. My story is this. Once upon a time I had a rzr s 800 that I always ran toed out about 1/8. It didn't corner all that well due to the bushings being worn out all the time and sloppy, but it was ok and predictable. Set my Rhino up like that and was trying to keep up with James, went straight through a turn at about 35+mph in the woods. Ran over a couple small trees about 3" in diameter or a little more. Pretty much wrecked the SOB but didn't hurt anything other than scared the shit out of myself. I told James I wrecked back there when we all stopped later and told him what happened. He said line it up straight up. Do not run it toed out any or it will not turn. I did try it toed in once and it would not go straight down straight loose dirt road. Scary as hell with it darting all over the place. Setting the toe is a very picky thing, it has to be just right or you will kill yourself.

    That explains the wildcat recommendations then. Very sloppy factory a-arms after a few miles. My brother's RZR was the same way until he put aftermarket bushings in it.
