Just for my own education.
I always thought that you have to be a bit good/special to drive with a car set up with toe out.
Why has this been done ?

Also has the Fury been designed to have a caster of 3.5Deg.
I remember reading somewhere on the web that all of JB's cars were designed with a value of 3.5 in mind. This set up gives 5.5Deg.
What should the Fury (escort uprights) have?

Escort 3.5 is correct Dave whether Fury Stylus or Phoenix . If you have Cortina then more is required
