Tracking - Hmmmm

[E30Dom]

Hi Guys,

Can anyone read this tracking data... OK so it's gone Red to Green, but have they actually changed anything? Paid £62 for both front & rear to be adjusted so hope they've adjusted it, not just fiddle fudged it... Opinions...

Before;


After;


Cheers,

Theyve adjusted your camber/castor/toe

Look at the middle 4 boxes

Really, thought they only did tracking...i.e. toe, which looking at it has change .18 on fron and .15 on the back...

Who did it?

Just had my 4wheels done and it's not very good, going back tomoz, drive at 30 and I'm holding the wheel to stop her from going off the road, never mind 100mph on the old autobarn

Looks like they've only adjusted the toe, and the rear camber has changed slightly as a by-product; when you add toe-in on the rear, the mid point of the rear hub moves outwards thus increasing the negative camber slightly. Ideally they should have adjusted the rear camber (it's pretty easy to do), but I would imagine they'd charge an additional 50% of what you originally paid.

They did charge me to adjust the rear too!?!? You thinking they didn't touch it? Buggers!

Which garage? Was it protyre?

They have adjusted the toe, front and rear, and got it pretty much spot on. It doesn't look like they've adjusted the rear camber, except for any consequential change courtesy of the toe adjustment. £62 is about the cost I'd expect for 2 No. adjustments, which wold also align with the garage adjusting front and rear toe, but not camber too.

Yeah I'm sure they did... Always go there for tracking/wheel alignment... Just usually they use the line, adjusting the front will bring the back in... Gotta say it feels a load better... Yes Alex indeed! ;-)
