Buzz,

Maybe I'm visualizing this incorrectly, but I think toe would not be affected by axle and wishbone length.

If the toe is correct to begin with, shortening the axle & wishbone would bring the wheels closer to the differential, but the distance between the front and rear of the tire shoulders should maintain the same distance, i.e., the toe-in.

Think of it this way, if I set the tires on the ground at proper toe-in and then move them toward each other along the axle centerline (without turning them about a vertical axis), toe-in should remain the same.

Am I missing something? (probably...)

Tom
