does anybody know the figures for the settings for the front of an erst please,ive got access to some tracking gauges but have been told the measurements are in cm not minutes or degrees if anybody has any diagrams that they can put a pic up of or an internet site where i can get them from that would be much appreciated

the last thing is how would i measure the camber as ive got adjustable lower arms,my dad said about using a spirit level and standing it up vertically then measuring to the top of the wheel rim,what would be the ideal distance say 2 or 3cm to the rim from the spirit level

if anybody has any other ideas they would be much appreciated

 

Take it to a laser alignment place

Job done, sorted, drive home.

 

Tony - a lot of them rely on the rear wheels being inline don't they?

 

havnt really got the money for that at the moment thats why im doing it myself

 

Who's looking at rear ?

 

when you do a full 4 wheel alignment with the sensor heads clamped on each wheel,if the rear wheels are out of alignment it can affect the reading on the front thats why the rear is normally adjusted 1st,thats how i was shown when i was sent on a course to thatcham by 1 of the bodyshops i used to work in

 

How do you adjust the rear ?

I know the theory

 

im not adjusting the rear as its non adjustable i was just explaining to rick

 

Of course the rears can be adjusted lol



Im forever faffing about with them

 

Yes, but don't most tracking places just do the front based on the rear, unless you do a proper 4 wheel alignent?

 

Most never even look at the rear in my experience

 

you should spend less time faffing and more time driving mate !

 

Your right, but the faffing is for development of components not driver skill lol

Was messing with my steering arms, to compliment the adjustable TCA's



* suitable for all escorts sierras etc lol

 

we need to speak about these maybe

 

NUTS RuS, are they rose joints to replace track rod ends?

 

By the way the figures were passed by PM to the thread poster

So the thread hijack is legitimate lol

Yes Davvy

 

yeh got the pm mate cheers,i only meant the rears arent adjustable as standard

 

whenever i had to do a wheel alignment at work i would always check to see if it could be adjusted and adjust if i could before i went on to the front adjustment
