Wheel Alignment

Recommended Posts

RINRIN

In my country I believe that the wheel alingment is a huge mess. The technicians make rough adjustments and if they use the PC the info in the PC is not relevant. :)

 

 

There is no info in Haynes repair manual

 

The below info is in Haynes Workshop manual

Toe in 1.0 -- 3.0 mm

Caster 1.20 --2.20 degree

Camber -30 -- 30 degree

King pim inc 9 -- 10 degree

and it mentiones that these values are for standart height.

 

But in Haynes Data Book

Toe in 1.0 mm

Caster 2.20 --2.80 degree

Camber -30 -- 30 ddegree

King pim inc 9.70 -- 10.30 degree

 

Which of these values are correct? My riding height is not standart. I have 3.5 mm springs.

Which values I should use for my pug :blush:

Personally, I always set the tracking for 0 degrees - ie parallel.

Mine's lowered ~35mm with +3deg toe in...the rest of the values are just however it sits...no obvious problems

Less toe in (i.e. more toe out) will make it sharper to turn in, hence it would be more twitchy on a bumpy road. I'd say settings depend on personal preference and car usage.

I dont believe this is that easy. Cornering and bumping the road effects, fuel consp. and tyre life related to these issues. I will set to the setup in the workshop manual.
