If you use an adjustable linkage then you can also have some radicaly adjustable toe angles to go with it.
I understand that much about attaching the moving linkage to a fixed chassis location, but is there a more permanent way, such as just using straight axles, as opposed to CV shafts?

That's why I'm asking, because I don't know what's available, or what's possible for better alternatives.
