Suspension Problem (change of toe, not bumpsteer)

Hey, it's me, the dev from instagram. Thanks so much for posting here, I've forwarded this thread to the relevant people We're a bit busy these days during post-release, but we'll check sooner or later!

 

Hiya! I've read through your comment and video. Thanks for sharing this. You have identified a problem with hub strength. It is flexing too much.

Toe-curves are normal on almost all cars with independent rear suspension. They almost all toe-in, although there are a few rare cars that toe-out on compression, it's a severe majority that generally toe-in.

Specifically the ETK you've shown is modeled after a BMW E28 suspension with a common 80's trailing arm type suspension. This style of suspension actually had some of the most aggressive toe-curves in OEM suspensions. The E21, E28, E30, E36 318ti, Z3, and many other BMW's of that era used a version of this suspension. Lowering these cars can result in quite extreme toe-in, and camber on the rear. MK2 MA60 Supras, MX73 Cressidas, and many other 80's cars had this style of trailing arm resulting in wild toe-curves. It was a wild west of new independent suspension designs. So it's okay that they have extreme toe-curves as that's relative to the era.

However, your observation of the rear toeing out is the real gem here. This shows a flex, or instability in the hub that the car originally wasn't designed for. The wheel and tire combo post date the original JBeam design of this ETK, so it's likely the JBeam was never designed to quite reach those levels of stress. I'm sure other cars will do this too, especially on extremely grippy tires.

Posted above looks like a Dev has seen this, so they're likely talking about it, and will have to review the hub strength of this car, and potentially others to balance the newer, grippier tires the game has since come out with.
