RE: Performance Alignments

I always had a bad torque steer problem with my '95 Jetta GLX, even right after 
an alignment.  Then I replaced all of the GA's and now it tracks perfectly.  The
problem was "tire torque steer"  If the belts in the tires are not aligned 
correctly the car will wonder or pull. (a common problem with cheaply made 
tires).

The torque steer now is stronger due to the above mentioned toe out 
pointing the front wheels apart.  I would stick with what you have as 
settings for best handling.  Caster will also cause a pull or drift on 
coasting.
