I have done the toe-adjustment on my "Classic" (2002) Prius many years ago (2004) And indeed noticed that although the mileage was slightly better, it also became more "squirrely" to drive at speed.
For the Leaf with the same adjustment, there is nothing of the sort, it does feel like it steers lighter than before But there is no sensation of diverging steering that I felt with other cars, so it looks like Nissan did a good job In optimizing the Leaf to allow minimal friction by setting a slight toe-out and still having a refined feel to the steering. I was actually surprised by that.

That is, the driver will constantly be making corrections in steering direction. _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Read EVAngel's EV News at http://evdl.org/evln/ Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA) _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Read EVAngel's EV News at http://evdl.org/evln/ Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
