Omega General Help / Re: Tracking

« on: 08 April 2011, 22:51:19 »

I fitted Pirelli P6000s just over a year ago and have done less than 10,000 miles on them. The front ones have worn unevenly but I've had the wheel alignment checked and corrected twice during that time.

Should I be getting more than just the alignment done - steering geometry is mentioned several times I think? Also does it make much difference which brand of tyres I use, I have always found Continentals to be very good?

When you have the wheel alignment checked, are all the geometry angles checked or is it the front tracking only? 4 wheel alignment includes measuring and correcting caster, camber and toe on the front and camber and toe on the  rear. Uneven wear could well be camber related as well as toe related.
hope this clarifies things a little bit.

Although I don't have an Omega I do get to work on a few! Done wheel alignment on one or ten cars on here! I have a fleet of running and non running vehicles from Mk1 Cortina, Panda to Mustang and Dodge Dakota truck (officially my wifes car). Some good stuff on here.

You should also get castor measured, it is adjustable unofficially, by moving the subframe. It needs to be even rather than correct. This will be beneficial to the driving experience when everything else is corrected. May I suggest someone more willing to do a proper job?
