Syncro wheel alignment

Post by Al Housman »

Since replacing a front outer cv joint and generally repacking the others I have noticed that the steering seems a bit heavier than before.

I guess checking the tracking would be a good start and have checked the info on Brickyard. Does anybody know what the figures are for 215/75/15s on mefro rims? I imagine they must be different from the 14 or 16" wheels.

The kerbside tyre is worn down more than the others on the outer edge. Does anyone know what this indicates?

Many thanks

Al

Wheel size will make no difference to the geometry settings at all. I think the figures are up on either Wiki or Brickyard

^^^WHS^^^

Tracking isnt affected..
Full alignment is another.. (camber and caster) But what will make a difference there is the ride height.. (stiffer springs/spacers/weight etc etc...)
Wheel centre line to arch lip is generally the measurement needed..
