Inclinometer arrived today.
 The polys for the omega only arrived yesterday after good old royal mail took a shine to the first set posted.

So eager to test the newly fabricated floor plates and camber gauge,decided that the golf would be the guinea pig, here goes.







specs for the camber  on the golf are .0.20' = 0.33 in decimal. ( some spec say 0.40')
As you can see its well out of spec.



The 13mm dust cap fitted to get near vertical shows how that translates in real terms.


Final setting after a re roll = 0.25 decimal 0.15'

Time to get the mig set up and tyres fitted

good stuff, so now for toe setting?

[tidla]

Toe setting coming up.

Toe setting spec for the golf is 0.00'   +-10'

This was done at a local tyre place using four wheel alignment equipment just three weeks ago, No mad kurbing has occurred since. To make sure there was no issues with adjustment , all the adjustment points were freed off and copperslipped prior to visit.

You can see in the piccy, since the camber has been corrected the alignment is way out at 8.00' !!



As the wheel alignment equipment is not four wheel, i needed a centre line. A laser line and some all thread provided particularly accurate.



All set up. Drives straight. New tyres please.



As soon as i get the poly bushes fitted to the omega i will post the set up results .

polys fitted and tracked



rear camber at the moment 1.85'



rear toe at the moment



2.00' toe in

reasons for the change from spec on the rear?

[feeutfo]

Is the ride height the same?

Anything in the boot?

Inaccurate self levelling?

Did you bounce the suspension to let it settle... ?

Busted spring since last set?
