Wheel Alignment Report

Recommended Posts

So, I fitted two new tyres today for our trip, and at the same time had all wheels balanced, re-inflated with nitrogen and had wheel alignment checked/done.

 

Heres the report they gave me...

 

I think they only adjusted toe, I think they said camber not adjustable.

 

As I can see according to measurements and specifications, the camber does seem to be way out?

 

What's the cause for this and how do I rectify it?

 

Control arms?

Bad news I'm afraid, your before figures were better for the car.

 

 

AND they've used the figures for a standard suspension, not the sportpack suspension a Selespeed would be fitted with.

Only seeing your post now Smaky, you talking about the toe? I don't really understand the printout or specs, diff between toe and camber.

 

Also noticed that the car is pulling to the left now. And when braking from high speeds, I seem to hear a slight humming sound from the left front wheel, dead sure it wasn't there before I took the car in.

 

So there should be another setting/specification for the selespeed? Will phone them tomorrow and hear if I can take it back.

 

You dont perhaps have a printout of a car that is set up right? Pretty please?

All setings done unladen and a full tank of fuel.

 

front

Toe - 0 degrees

camber - -0.49 - -1.29 degrees

castor - 3.33 - 4.55 degrees

 

rear

toe - 0 degrees

camber - 1.9 degrees

castor - 4.3 degrees

 

 

On both front a rear the caber and castor are NOT adjustable.

 

 

And sorry to say, your before settings were spot on and they've adjusted out of limits.

Smaky, so if the toe should be 0 degrees, isn't -0.02 (front) closer to 0 than the -0.14 and 0.12 that it used to be?

How do I correct the camber on front and rear?

If they'd have just rocked the car the figures could have done that and 10 minutes of a degree will have no difference on the way the car feels to you, castor and camber can only be sorted by realigning the subframe and replacing the arm bushes, a lot of work to hope it gets some figures in.

So what do you suggest? Just leave it as is? Will I sacrifice more tread wear than normal?

Just leave it. But next time all 4 wishbones are replaced, if you have it checked then you'll find it's miles out the other way.
