tracking question.....

Recommended Posts

had it done a few weeks back......just had a good look at the front wheels and thy seem to be pointing outwards at different angles???

 

suspension has not been touched since the laser alignment :scratch: are the wheels suppose to be slightly outwards facing???

 

Cheers

I had the front wheels toe'd in slightly to help turn in.

 

Technically there are not exactly supposed to be a certain way as such, its more of how do you want it to drive.

Just paid for a 4 wheel laser alignment...thought they would have been straight LOL unless its a design feature of the C?

no, they won't be perfectly straight due to the suspension geometry. One will "look" at a larger angle than the other, but if you split the difference and have them both pointing the same amount, then you should find they both have the same amount on. Hope that makes sense!

 

As with mine, your steering wheel may not be centred properly at the moment, or possibly after an alignment.

All alignment does is align it to various settings, so for increased turn in toe them in, for more steering wheel self centreing give it more castor, for better cornering grip camber them in and so on.

 

If you want them all perfectly straight then tell them that but understand the effect it has on handling etc, to all be perfectly straight in every direction may not mean best grip.
