......
both end react the same way dynamically, but differently at the same time
acceleration - fronts rises(extends) & rear drops(compresses), front toes out and rear toes in
deceleration - front drops(compresses) & rear rises(extends), front tires toe in & rear tires toe out

statically the same - drop toes out & rise toes in at either end

in cornering one side compresses the other extends, the compressed side toes in the extended side toes out. The difference in toe side to side is bump steer aka roll steer
