  • The outcome of a wheel alignment

    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!

                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!

                        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.
