Its all green on sheet ses its within its range. Or dont that make a diffrence it drives fine just feels very light the steering thats all

In the green just isn't good enough I'm afraid on an Omega. In fact, the GM supplied data for the Omega is far to vague to be of use.

You say that, the college introduction for the Omega is pretty specific, as is the Thatcham repair data wrt geometry

...I think Al needs a curry. He's in withdrawal or something. Those figures combined are double what they should be. DOUBLE!

And perhaps not surprisingly, Op might be seeing double the edge wear.


....although if it is indeed outside edge wear, we might be looking at an idler issue as well.

That's coming upto bush mileage too...

The original settings are quite tight, but tyre places like pretty pictures to baffle punters...

That place has cleary adjusted the toe spot on, with no thought as to what effect those camber/caster settings might have with those toe settings there's also little reason why the thrust angle cannot be 0° what like it should be

I should add, when I say college, I meant the Vauxhall college official introduction, rather than Slough Poly

Fronts.

Left front.                                   Right front.

-2.13 camber                             -2.22 camber

4.43 caster                                   4.57 caster

0.05 toe                                        0.05 toe



0.10 total toe

0.00 steer ahead.


Rear.

Left rear.                                      Right rear.
-1.35 camber                              -1.51 camber


0.10 toe                                          0.11 toe

0.21 total toe

-0.01 thrust angle




0.10 toe

Those should be -1.10

There you go - you're the one giving out WIM's data on an open forum   Seem to remember you saying it should be kept "confidential"as WIM had put a lot of effort into getting to these figures 

I wonder why Wim helped us out online with those settings though dbug? I bet it wasn't so members could trot off to another firm instead.

...and I know they asked for those settings not to be made public as such, although -1.10 is common knowledge to be fair.

Does a rocket have a camber setting though ?

It was fields tyres in hove

If your ever up north I can recommend a place that did full geo setup on my mini face lift omega.  Car feels transformed, goes round corners like on rails now and best she has ever been (and I have has her from 6 month old  ). Puts a smile back on face to drive 

Here is the Before and after with mine which I posted a few months ago when Nigel Langs waved their magic spanners over her
