Thread: D3 wheel alignment

Thx everyone. Was done in TMM. Seems to me based on your feedback that final rear camber is main issue. Should these be the same?

Tyres have done 5000 and wearing a little on the outside all round, more on rear but wear was not significant. Would Changing the shocks have thrown them out, that's my gut feel.

No thanks

Changing shocks does not interfere with wheel alignment on these vehicles.

Don't be too concerned about the slight variation in the camber you have now after the alignment. It really won't make a lot of difference. Most aligners will get them as close as reasonable possible, and that is good enough.

The toe in/out is your critical issue , and your post readings are ok. Watch your tyres for any abnormal wear. Edge wear or what looks like a saw tooth effect across the blocks of tread base, are the probably the most obvious danger signs. However you are going to get edge wear, you cannot avoid it altogether.

Rotate your tyres regularly. As often as you can reasonably manage. ( every 5000 if you can do it ) Unlikely the shocks would contribute much to wear in your case. In my experience, they have to be almost useless to have a lot of impact. Also shock related tyre wear is generally uneven.

Lastly, stop worrying about it. As has been demonstrated numerous times on this forum, tyre wear and life , vary incredibly. Tyre pressure, driving style, load carried, speed, you name it. Every single vehicle and driver, will experience vastly different tyre wear and life. Enjoy.

have had mine done many times but 3 different tyre places, 2 of them it has the car put into TTM mode first by dealer.

Had new tyres fitted last year by the race car driver mob and they insisted they could do align without it being in TTM - wrong, crap job.

Have just had a new set of Perilli Scorpion Zeros fitted and had 4 wheel align (TTM) done. Car does understeer quite noticeably. Not sure if this is normal but can be diconcerting if entering a corner a bit quick.

thinking of taking it back to tyre place to get it looked at

what pressures are you running in the tyres ?

What happens if the tyre place is some distance from the stealer?

How far can you drive in TTM and at what speed?

I drive 4kms at 60kph.

You have no lowering or increasing of suspension using the button, and it will not adjust when you turn it off.

The way LR explained is that if you loaded it up, it would just sag.

I don't think going between LR and tyre place, the distance is not the issue.
