What happens to your allignment when you raise or lower a car?
Specifically what happens to toe? I forget which way it goes when you lower a car. Is it toe-out when you lower a car and toe-in when you raise a car?
Thanks!

Depends on the location of the steering arms in relation to the pivot point for the wheels. The suspension compresses and shortens its length (because it comes closer to the car in its arc) in relation to the steering arm which stays a constant length and pushes the tire out. If the steering gear is behind the pivot the back of the tire is pushed outward.
