Just got back from WIM. They remembered you, Steve. And I confirm, they do not now work with other garages

Our Omega price still remains at £72 inc vat

Thats a good price - to be fair my car now drives lovely, wheel straight, no pulling or darting around the road at every inperfection. That maybe down to the new wishbones though I guess. The setting used are nother like the WIM ones. When I picked it up they did say they would be happy to put 'my' setting in if I'm not happy so may drive it for a couple of days and think about it. I guess tyre scrubbing could be an issue even though it seems to handle ok.

Here is my readout today....

[biggriffin]

Front camber. 1'20 front track 0 to parallel, castor 5'
Rear camber 1'30,rear track 0, total of 0' thrust angle.
 If they can get the front camber to 1'15 better.
Set tyre pressures to 32 front 35 rear.

So taking front camber how does the table above relate to the published (on here) WIM values?

 I m probably being thick, but it looks totally different to me.....

(My head hurts now)

You and me both, Steve. I have sent a pm to Al and he is going to look something up for me when he gets back. Its all beyond me, mate

I am taking it by biggriffins remarks and Taxi Al's pm to me that although mine has been done, its way out !!!!!

[steve6367]

Indeed, thats what I don't understand as your WIM setup looks a bit like mine even though mine is nothing like the values that Al posted!

How hard can it be!?

My setup if any use to compare:

My setup if any use to compare:

Your front end is better, but the nsf and osr camber are well off...

Front toe is much better, rear toe camber is a compromise, because ALL the adjustments are done on the one adjuster... but even so

What state are either of your rear subframe bushes in?

When I looked over the suspension and decide to replace the bits I did, I thought they looked ok but that was just looking so not sure that is really a good test.

Summat is skewed, and a failing rear subframe bush would allow the rear suspension to twist slightly...
Back the car onto ramps and remove the cover plate and centre bolt, any cracking or splits and the bush needs replacin...  Only remove one side at a time though...
