Geometry Setup at WIM franchise
« on: 25 January 2015, 21:43:27 »
Suggested setup:

Front:
Camber: -1deg 40' both sides
Caster: 5deg both sides
Toe: 0deg 10'

Rear:
Camber -1deg 50'
Toe: 0deg 25'


I think from reading on here these are the VX values and I should ask for less Camber on the front, -1deg 10'? I have sent a PM to WIM but as the work is being done in the morning thought I'd ask the panel.

Many thanks

Steve

PS it really can't be any worse than it was!

Assume the toe value is 'total toe' of 0deg 05'?

Both front and rear toe should toe in, and camber is negative, not positive.

Rear settings are a compromise as camber and toe are one adjustment, but thrust angle MUST be 0 :y

so 0deg 5' toe in each side or total?

They were very helpful when I spoke to them this morning, but unforutantly for me they did advise the website is wrong and they no longer work with other garages. Offered to take a look at the print out when its done locally though, so will see what they think  :y
