allignment/toe

I know this sounds kind of picky, but is there a way to adjust the toe-in on these things? I have a pigeon toed Mitsubishi, and a duck footed Subaru.
I noticed that the microsizer has a hole in the steering knuckle, and that you could probably pry on it a little to give your self a little more toe-in, or, squish it to get a little toe out.

Has anyone done it? Is it worth messing with?

im not sure if i would try to do that with the steering......since these are so small and wobbly, it might just ruin your steering and might not be able to go straight...

Only real way to adjust toe is to re-drill the steering arm.

Or delicately bend the little plastic arms with the suspension holes in them.

Is that the secret to the "Amazing Camber"? hmm I wonder.

LOL

Well, I have yet to make the camber work properly because of the steering arm.. I have to use a completely new steering arm to make it work right because the stock one is too long at the ends and rubs against the tires. So for now the camber project is on hold. But yeah, you redrill the upper mounting holes in the steering assembly cover and you redrill the steering arm to get the wheels to camber in properly and still 'turn'.
