Toe Control

[Tuck&Poke]

well is saw a toe control link on the koenigsegg cc v8 and it looks like what it does is that when the shock on one of the wheels compresses it makes the other shock do the same thing...correct?  only thing i can think that this does is stiffen the suspension but voids the whole point of idependent suspension

Sounds odd. May be similar effect to a sway bar, in that you lose some independence but (no where near actually) not all...

toe control...doesn't that have to do with the angle of the wheel, for lack of a better way of saying it, perpendicular to camber? Called caster??? What would that have to do with the shocks?

what i saw was... #### i need a pic of it.  can anyone post a pic of the engine bay of koeniggsegg cc v8 so that i can sow what the link looks like.  the rear suspension trasfers the force sidways the suspension arms look like to double whisbones connected at the fat end at a 90 deg angle with a shock attached to the horizontal one at the tip.  the link attaches from the tip of the horizontal arm to the other shock across the car. the toe control has a joint in the middle that is attached to a base of some sort.  argggg i need a pic to show it

oh, well I'm confused.  I've never hear of such a thing.  I was thinking like toe in/toe out on caster of your tires.
