Disco 2 wheel alignment specifications

[Grumpy]

I have been looking through the threads looking for the wheel alignment specs. for a 2000 Disco 2.
Can any of the gurus help please? :wallbash:
Thanks

Camber -10' +/-30'
Castor 3degrees45 +/-45'
Toe front/rear 10' +/-10' total
KPI 13 degrees.

As above, but basically 0 to 2mm of TOE OUT is the only adjustment that can be made. Any problems with castor and KPI are not 'simple ',adjustments:o and require offset bushes etc.

Guys,

As you know what you're talking about with D2 Alignment, I was wondering if you could maybe have a look at a print out I got from a recent alignment session?

I've attached an image and hopefully the lables I stuck on are readable ok. (Maximizing the attachment helps!)

As you say, you can only set Toe, but I was wondering if the 'red' flagged figures on my print out are significant?

I've been having problems with poor steering and my tyres scrubbing on the inside inch. I stuck my nice new back tyres on the front then got this alignment done. My steering seems to have improved with the 'new' tyres on, but the tyres may still be scrubbing.

Sorry for the thread hijack!

Cheers, Andy

Most of that is within spec. The KPI difference will be from the factory, as if something were bent then it would also show up in the camber. The one that is out is the castor which is a bit higher than usual, which will increase the tendancy for steering to centre itself, but on uneven surfaces it might pull a bit I guess. It reads like you're suspension ride height is lower than what it should be, but thats about it.

Thanks for that Slunnie.

I was ready to go back to the tyre place and complain about the red figures. It looks like they have done a good job in the end.

The only figures they can alter in there is the toe anyway, and the toe is correct. The rest of it in the case of the Land Rover just means that the axle was manufactured correctly, its not bent but the castor isn't correct - which is also a function of ride height as well as the axles manufacture, but the measurements are even, so the axle isn't in question.
