    Wheel alignment results.

    Got a wheel alignment done today and got the printout.
    Toe was like 10mm off or something crazy. No wonder it was a little hairy at high speed.
    Anyhoo i was wondering if anyone with knowledge in this area can look at my printout and share some advice.
    By memory i should be 5 degrees at kingpin after my lift. I elongated the holes on the swivels and attempted to do my angles but obviously are not accurate.
    With these numbers are there issues here or are they within tolerance??

    Thanks, Andrew.

    AS per normal, they have stuffed up your toe , It had negative 9mm before , now they have given you positive toe,
    For a RRC / D1/ D2 / Defender that is wrong - wrong -wrong . You need 0.5 to 1.5 NEGATIVE toe .

    ALL wheel alignment places get this wrong for LandRover AND Iveco 4x4 . I'd go back & ask for it to be re done .


    AND either your rear axle housing is bent , or more likely their machine needs calibration.

    Google "DIY String wheel Alignment" and check for yourself.

    YES . toe out , or negative toe in (which is an oxymoron) The front wheel need to point outward slightly , Unless you have a part time conversion.

    Do it yourself in future, a tape measure or a hand made measuring rod is all you need to set adequate toe out. No point in giving someone money to adjust the non adjustable parts.

    Yea on the printout it said a 2002 d2 not a 1994 d1.
    Not sure if that effects there base readings or not.

    So i will adjust the toe and give it a couple turns out.

    Whats the camber like? Within tolerance or i need to work that further?
