P1800 Tracking question

CLIVERALLY · Jul 18th, 2017, 14:39

I have changed out the track rod ends and I am looking for the best tracking alignment set up.

I have the camber set at .05 neg both sides and have 5.5 x 15 wheels

Have the green manual but not sure if this applies to cats with wider wheels

Thanks

Can anyone advise as Iam booked in tomorrow?

I imagine the figures in the book would apply (0-4mm toe in iirc?) Aim for 2mm. Centreline of wheels still the same regardless of width.

Thanks...

I'm pretty sure it's 0mm with a tolerance of toe-in of 2mm per side. Shame you're not closer as I have some good tracking gauges....

Would you let us know how you get on because I like to store these facts in my geeky brain for the never-never?

Good info here. As said 2mm is good. I'd rather have it at the 2 rather than zero. I think my estate is at 1.5mm. Very stable and can be steered with 2 fingers at any reasonable speed on a flat smooth road, virtually hands off in fact.
