If you are looking at the tires they don't turn as much in the way of direction when locked, this is part of the suspension Geometry...

The correct terminology is "toe out on turns".

During a turn, the inside tire rolls through a smaller diameter circle so it has to be turned into the direction of the turn more to keep from scrubbing the tire tread.
