Default tracking ?!?

right my tracking is out

the story goes i fitted my adjustable tca's last week and got a sts tyre place to set it up for me camber looks better but its toeing out really bad you can notice it by looking at the wheels and handles badly when it was done the bloke said it was on the last threads was he just being funny or is there something wrong with the rack or track rod ends ?

its got 17" softlines, compbrake adjustable tca's, koni adjustable suspension lowered 25mm and standard everything else could it be something wrong or is the bloke not very good ? it was set up on one of them 4 wheel laser alighnment ramps

Are the TCA's defo for a Mk4?

Any toe out should not be noticeable as you will not normally need any more than + 2 deg out otherwise it will handle bad like you say.

Try somewhere else and get a 2nd opinion.
