Title: Tracking/Camber adjusters
Post by: Dracoro on 02 August 2010, 16:47:25

Had geo looked at and it's out.

All the adjusters, however, are seized (why am I not suprised....).

Anyone know how I can unseize them or is it best left to mechanics? I can handle paying for the geo to be sorted but to pay however many hours to unseize everything is a step to much with this thing. Spent enough money on it as it is.

Lots of penetrating oil for a few days. If necessary, modest amount of heat.

penetrating oil? WD40?

garage mentioned they couldn't use heat on the tracking adjusters. Something was soft that would get damaged?

Removal (how?) and using a vice/clamp seemed to be the general idea?

plusgas is better, but wd40 in an emergency...  ...do it daily for a few days. All over threads, and in the little slits.

Thanks. Are any of the adjuster accessible without getting under car?

:D I meant as in, can I turn the wheels or take them off to get at the adjusters?

Also, can anyone tell me exactly where the adjusters are?

thanks.

Front and rear track rods. May get to fronts, but easier to jack up.  Rears, defo need to jack up
