When you adjust the toe at the pivot (arm mount), it changes two things, besides the toe degree. First is it adjusts the wheelbase. Going from the 3* to a 4* block changes it so much that you have to run the long wheelbase. It also changes how stiff the suspension feels. The more toe you put in the stiffer the suspension feels. The less, the softer it feels. For example, at the ROAR Nationals this year we tried a 4* block, with 0* hubs, 25wt shock oil, and long wheelbase. The suspension still felt much stiffer than it had previously with a 3* block and 0* hubs.

Adjusting the toe at the hub, in theory should bind the CVA a bit, but other than that I can't think of any other effects of it.

I have tried both adjustments and prefer to run the 3* block at all times and adjust the toe with different hubs.
