A guide is always good, no matter how simple.  If only to show the next person how simple, even if they lack experience/confidence

Post in Test, use whatever picture service suits, then nudge that Jimbob fella. He'll then move it to right area, add it to indexes, and move the images to OOF's own servers.

Agreed, it is sometimes difficult to remember that some people have never even picked up a spanner, and if OOF can convince even those that car repair is within the realm of - virtually - anyone, it will be a bonus.

You're both absolutely right

My comment was  a light poke at Webby

Undo nut from ball joint. Undo nut from bolt. Remove bolt. Pick track rod off floor.

What's the guide for? Making tea? 

 

It's worth mentioning that you should make the new ones the same length as the old ones to give a good start on the wheel alignment.

Nah, sod the lot of ya, especially that fugly Gollum character 😬😬😬😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

So all fitted. Fronts fitted also. My own initial alignment done. Rear toe is now in the green with a thrust angle of zero 👍 need to adjust front camber but didn’t have time. Looking forward to seeing the results when I get my new tyres 😄😄😄

I will have you know that I am the best looking troll in the whole interweb

In the green... phhhttt Joking aside, rear track and camber are a joint adjustment, so broadly similar side to side and zero thrust are about as much as the back end can be set to

Front end camber is 1 degree, 10 minutes and toe in 3 minutes and the car will appreciate them being identical side to side. once done, double check that the thrust angle is still zero

When it comes to the Omega, all you need to know is that green is a colour, not a measurement...

Trust me mate I have been told off about being “in the green “ before.

This was just a quick get me home set up. When my new tyres are on I’ll be setting rears to what I have now. And fronts bang on 1’ 10 camber and 0’ 05 toe. I’m hoping I can give the local tyre shop 20 notes to borrow their hunter set up as it’s so much easier to use than our Hoffman
