Squirming comes from tires. New tires have more tread so that much rubber the car needs to twist in order to change the tire's direction. This is one reason why race cars in dry use slicks. Max contact patch and no tread to squirm.
Hey thanks for the additional 101 in alignment and toe. What would be a good setting for toe for the rears? I know it's a loaded question, because tire wear versus performance. A toe setting to start out with to test, which I can always change weekely (with my life time free alignments).
