i'm having 2 new front tyres 2morrow and having 1 of my wheels swapped so that all 4 are the same.

the favour... can someone covert 20 minutes toe in into mm for me please, my tyre place has a laser supertracker, but its only in mm,

if i said 0.5mm toe in overall, do 0.25 each side, would that be enough to counter the bush deflection...?

 

cossie front going by the service books, is 0mm +/-1mm

so if you go with 1mm toe IN then that will counter the wear nicely, and give you better steering responce and more stability at higher speeds

thats what i'll be doing tomorrow at 1500 anyway

 

so 0.5 mm toe in each side...?

 

that is correct


or if your steering wheel is on the piss, do one side to straighten it up

 

yep,

they usually get the steering wheel stright then line up each front to get it parallell all round and in line with the backs... then ajust both fronts by the same amount...

cheers gracland

ill be goin in a straight lie 2morrow, ps, im in at 3pm aswell

 

Excellent - you going to the Ring with us all too?

 

I have just set mine to run 2mm on front (total) and 3mm on rear (total), 3°neg front camber and 2° rear and 3°30' caster ready for the Ring .

 

no can ring i'm afraifd,,,

im redecorating my house top to toe at the moment - i had to get a extra special pass out to go on a stag do in a couple of weeks

cheers for the info guys

 

righty:

had them fitted lastnight,

2 new T1S's ,4 wheel tracking for £218 all in

bargain


we found with the odd wheel (it was on the offside rear) was ET20 not Ey25 so sat 5mm further out, i only found this when i was cleaninghtem once a few months back.

so last time it was tracked up (assuming all wheels where the same) it was ajusted with 1mm overall toe in at the front (which is correct) but with the back being 5mm wider on one side, was actually makign the car toe in 6mm.

now its done, it actually goes in a staright line, no tramlining and steering snatching and feels much more stable

many thnaks for info guys

 

Excellent . What did you do about the wheel with the different offset?

 

i had the best of the old 2 front tyres fitted to it, so ive got a full sized spare.... not as :gayflag: as a spacesaver are you interested..? it s 18" OZ superT 8J ET20, fitted with a half worn pirelli pzero...

 

I didn't realise you had another, I thought you may have had to fit spacers on the others or something .

 

Sounds like nice settings to get me around the Ring
