    D3 wheel alignment

    I had a 4 wheel alignment done today. Rear camber final settings were LH -0.2 Degrees and RH -0.8 degrees Does this seem right? I'm sure they didnt touch the camber.

    Vehicle has always warn inside of rear tyres. I had new tyres fitted 5000 km ago and although they didn't adjust the camber is now wearing on the outside. It's weird.

    I have just fitted Koni shocks which prompted me to get the alignment done. I have to say there is little difference over OEM, particularly around town.

    The alignment spec sheet should have before and after readings. Do you have the before and after readings for the rear camber, castor and toe in ?

    Hi All,
    There is no requirement to put it into tight tolerence for a general wheel alignment. Only if suspension has been pulled apart for repair. Vehicle will dive around and have severe bump-steer if aligned in tight tolerence.

    I would disagree. Whilst not always necessary TTM will ensure that the settings are accurate when aligned. If he has tyre issues then it would be better for it to be done in TTM and may explain why his tyres are still wearing unevenly. Always had mine done in TTM tyres always wear evenly and definately no bump steer. I fail to see how using the correct procedure would cause bump steer.

    I agree with Carver - while not always possible - alignments should be done with TTM enabled.

    Gday...

    I had new tyres (Coopers) fitted last year and the wheel alignment mob told me to get it into TTM - to see the dealer to have it set.

    Dealer set it at TTM, drove slowly around to wheel aligner, alignment done, drove back to dealer slowly who then re-set it to 'normal' settings.

    Dealer charged me nuffin for the service - very impressed.

    The tyres have now done 38,000km and are wearing perfectly even each corner - rotated each 6,000km.

    Cheers - John

    That ain't normal.

    The Dealers I have dealt with would charge one hours labour (min charge) to put it into TTM and then one hours labour to take it off.
