Title: Tracking
Post by: Julian on 10 November 2010, 15:55:57

I have no idea what the tracking should be, I have replaced the wish bones and the tracking has gone from toe out to toe in with no alterations to other components.
    Just a rough idea would be great as other bits will probably need sorting before its worth setting up probably, thanks.

as a guide 0-1.5mm toe in but you need to have the cambers checked as well as on a mig tracking is only half of the job

And yes, don't forget the camber at 1degree 10 minutes.

Plus, it's possible to rifle site the front wheels to line up with the back when parked with steering wheel straight ahead. But needs well lubed track rod adjusters to diy.

But all this is only saves the tyre wear on the way wheels in motion, or one of their franchises, of course. It really needs setting correctly.
