Front toe in 0.03, same both sides...

Rear toe whatever they can get as it adjusts with Camber, but ideally same side to side and thrust angle MUST UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BE ZERO. Accept nothing else.  :y

Yes, negative = toe in, but what does this mean? 0.03

when expressed as decimals, 3 minutes or 1 degree 10 minutes are NOT 0.03° or 1.10°!


1 minute is 0.0166666667°. Aproximately...........

Are these the WIM recommended settings or the factory settings?
What does the 'cross' figure in the camber and castor refer to?

They're not the Factory settings, which have been proven to cause excessive tyre wear.

I suspect the cross figures are the relative average across the car.

These were from the last time I had my plod estate set up, so poly front bushes and probably ATP wishbones, along with poly donuts and solid rear diff mounts, but otherwise factory Plod with working self levelling.

Car at this point had done 262k miles and had been rear ended three times and had two frontal impacts. Hence the caveat that they should be a reasonable target.

That said it drove like a missile and set up as above would see even tyre wear on all four tyres.

Too many things at the same time but this is how it is now, row by row, do I have to change something. I can go back there, he is my "friend" and not expensive at all.
