The outcome of a wheel alignment

[BlackVr6ix]

After having this car for over 6 months now i thought it was time to get some new tyres on the front.

I got an alignment done at the same time and here is the results



So there you go, the reason my car steered like a bucket of s**t.

I also took some time on sunday to make use of some Zymol cleaning products and wax. I think the car came up pretty good if i do say so myself!

That reminds me, gotta book mine in to bob janes for the same treatment. Thanks!

How much does it cost to get alignment done?

[BlackVr6ix]

cost me $45, but thats trade price

[Kenji]

Did you get the front and back done?
what camber and toe did you get??

[BlackVr6ix]

both, got it set to factory. I'm going to get them to dial in little more camber and a smidge more toe in when i go in for my 5k check up

Hey, Dont really understand the Wheel Alignment sheet, but your car looks PRISTENE!! it looks heaps nice.. well done

[BlackVr6ix]

the toe total was -17.2mm, when it should have been +1.1mm, meant that the car didnt steer very well.

thanks, it took me 4 hours of cleaning, polishing and waxing to get it looking like that!

[chadzter]

that must of fealt like you where driving a brick with 1mm wheels on it

What are the factory specs??
where can i find them??

where in sydney can i get an wheel allignment done that provides that sheet after?

every time i'v got one done they just give you the recipt of the charges and thats it.

[MattyT]

Well that sheet has Bob Jane T-Marts written on it. So perhaps ask your local Bob Jane??

I went to Jax to get mine done. I was given a fairly comprehensive "result" sheet that was similar to BlackVr6ix's. However, I'm sure they'll give you a results sheet if you ask for one.

What was the deal with that abundance of toe-out on the right-hand front wheel?? I had a similar problem with massive toe-out but that was only cos I was replacing my suspension. You could actually physically see both wheels point outwards My bad for not marking the lower bolt mounts before taking them out.
