Bit of a stupid question but when you have tracking done what exactly do they do?

 

It makes sure all your wheels are pointing the same way essentially.

 

yeah i know that but what exactly do they do in the process?

Does the machine do all the altering

 

People do the adjusting, machine is an alignment tool

 

yes, the machines are very advanced and can do all the adjustments by itself...

how many mm in a cm :cry

 

depends on the car, on most older fords.

The little elves loosen off the locking nut on the steering rack tie rod ends (on the end of the rack bolted to the hub) and wind the tie rods to lengthen (or shorten depending on toe in or out) the rod exposed then do the nut back up to lock the tie rod end up.

you can also correct your steering if its off center a little bit by winding them both the same way

 

Do i detect a hint of sarcasm in there somewhere boys. Ever thought that not everyones life revolves around a car.
