Front overhaul and one problem

[jebiga41]

Don't know what he did but drives ok and they do DOE testing there so wouldn't send me out with dodgy tracking but will put up the measurements trim height etc and see what you think. As i said I gave him the 14 and 16 specs but he said they were no good for the 15 however he adapted them from the taro for it.

Theres quite sufficient info either in the Wiki or on Brickayrd to do the job correctly... if it's the 15" wheels that confused then use the angles given and not the abs.measurements.
The 16" figures are different not just because the wheels are 16" diameter, so if its a 14 with 15 wheels, use the 14's given angles

I did type a lengthy reply last night, then the site crashed and lost my rambling.
Taro settings are just plain wrong.
As Clive said, use 14" settings.
Measure your trim height and I will give you a starting point.
Just because the place does the equivellent to an MOT doesn't mean they are wheel alignment specialists, or even fully understand whats going on.

was just talking about this with Dave( crankenwagon) as hes looking at getting his done aswell so will take all the measurements with him tonight and stick them up and see what you guys think (sorry just haven't got round to it the last few days), thanks for this appreciate simon would be good to have this sorted as quite a few people running mefros now Paul

Ill be redoing my front suspension when I get my Syncro back on Saturday after its build up. Ill be using standard 14" figures cuz basically nothing will have changed except the wheel diameter

What he said.

[jebiga41]

camber 0*30'+-30'
1,17+-0,50
0*30'(0,50)
caster 1*10'+-30'
1,17+-0,50
0*30' (0,50)

kpi 12*5'+-45'
12,08+-0,75
toe out on turns 20* 1*10' 1,17'
these are the specs he said he used first time
he then pulled the front wheels forward to get rid of the rubbing and set it up again but don't know if he used the same specs again, measured the distfrom centre of front nut to wheel arch 454mm same for he rear, distance fromrear nut to front hub nut 2485, will talk to him again but been driving the van a good bit and seems fine
