So, what do I do? Take it back and insist that they adjust everything?

[Marks DTM Calib]

I would await input from Mr Wheels In Motion himself

No adjustment necessary.

Quite obvious the rear toe has issues so this should have been dealt with by the shop... Although i welcome everyone to have a Geometry rather than just tracking.. but what was your reason for the test?

sorry to thread hijack, here is my print out from my alignment session!!!



After chatting to them i felt the car needed some serious money spending

They kept going on about everytime they adjusted the front tracking the steering moved 3 degrees without adjustment and how the rear track arms were in the process of siezing up and they were afraid to adjust them.....

Any ideas?

A very,very slight pull to the left.

Should I take it back?

A very,very slight pull to the left.

Has this been a slow evolution or an 'all of a sudden event'?..... How well are the tyres wearing, in particular the NSF outside edge.

Open another thread since that Geometry report is not good... and to be polite to the originator of this thread.

Always been there, tyres wearing very evenly, no sign of wear on outside, or inside of tyres.

Despite there are some errors within the Geometry and advice regarding your car non of the positions should allow the symptoms you describe, This is validated by the fact you have no adverse tyre wear... so why the pull?

This link http://www.wheels-inmotion.co.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=165 explains the most common reason is the tyre itself, and despite the warnings made available by the manufacture tyre shops still fail to read the lines!

Would it help if I swopped the rear to front and vice versa?

I have read your thread and the tyres are fitted correctly.

Since the original fitting lines have worn away then the best method is to move the front wheels with tyres side-to-side then test drive the car.... dismiss worries about directional tyres and so on, this movement is for testing purposes only.... If the car drives straight or drifts right then we know the problem is pneumatic, then by trial there is a need to find the best combination.
