I had a terrible screeching from the front wheels and still do slightly, I had my geometry adjusted last thursday at chemix in halesowen. the before measurements were terrifiying.

Left Front                                                Front Right

Camber -1*46'                                        Camber -2*31'

Caster 4*38'                                           Caster 5*05'

Toe -12.6mm                                          Toe -13.0mm

                         Total Toe -25.6mm

                         Steer Ahead 0*01'


Left Rear                                                 Right Rear

Camber -1*43'                                         Camber -1*47'

Toe 0.7mm                                              Toe 0.6mm

                          Total Toe 1.3mm

                         Thrust Angle 0*00'



After Results were much better

Left Front                                                Front Right

Camber -1*48'                                        Camber -1*18'

Caster 4*38'                                           Caster 5*05'

Toe 1.0mm                                             Toe 1.1mm

                           Total Toe 2.1mm

                          Steer Ahead 0*00'
 

Left Rear                                                 Right Rear

Camber -1*39'                                         Camber -1*44'

Toe 1.3mm                                              Toe 2.0mm

                          Total Toe 3.3mm

                        Thrust Angle -0*02'



I was told the left caster could not be adjusted and although the value was incorrect it was not worth going to the expense of getting it sorted as it could be down to a machining fault at production. anyone got any feedback on the above values and slight squeeling from the one front tyre. I'm thinking the rubber may just be a little softer on that tyre.

They have done a good job, other than the NSF camber is still to deep for my liking... But i am a fussy sod!

It was nearly £62 with the VAT but they did have to do all 4 corners of the car, it drives like a dream now. Steering used to be very heavy, now its very light and it got some getting used to.
