As I said, Dann.

5-10mm per side is WAY "beyond a certain point"!

Rear toe is normally used to manage straight line stability under power. Too much in either direction can result in oversteer. Preference should for a small amount of toe in.

Well again that depends what you want the car to do.

Also, my car is running 5mm toe out a side in the back, its fine.

Anyways the point is that adding toe in will reduce the amount the car pivots, adding toe out will increase it.
