more toe

Ok I am not a stranger to suspension work nor to car alignment. I will start this off by saying I know camber and caster are pull or wonder angles, and toe is a ware angle. my post is this...... my z had been pulling to the right hard, so I did notice that the suspension was saging , so I replaced the coil springs,tie rod ends enter, and outer, and struts. the pull was still the same with no change, so an hour ago I looked how my tires were pointed, and the right side was toed way out, and the left side was true. I straightend the right side out took it for a spin and the pull is gone. why did my toe problem cause a pull? p.s. the hint I got on my toe problem was when I took a turn I herd the front tire squilling at very low speed.

EXTREME amounts of toe can cause a pull... Ususally though, the minor toe amounts that most cars are out will not cause a pull.
