For a while now the meega has seemed somewhat vague in the steering department and i have spent hours checking the steering system over with no obvious defects, it also flew through its MOT. I tried playing with the tyre pressures and even changed fronts to rears but no improvement was found. I popped in to see my mate at his tyre company and was explaining my problem to him. Well he has just purchased the very latest state of the art tracking system so the megga was tested, every reading was out, castor, camber, toe and several others both front and rear BUT all were within the tollerance, anyway we spent the next hour getting every measurment spot on with no tollerances and the difference is unberlivable, the car feels like a different vehicle totally. Just goes to show how tolerance measurements can make all the differance.

Absolutely.

But if he set the front camber to middle of tolerance, you may eat up inside edges - keep an eye on this

No, this sets it up at the optimum settings, even down to putting ballast in the car, deducting how much fuel there is in or not in the fuel tank, etc etc it really is the dogs dangly bits, but for seven and a half grand it should be. A skoda followed me onto the ramp and the PC even said the washer bottle should be full !!!!!!!!! I will keep an eye on the tread wear however and let you know, however the turn in, cornering and general road holding is a total transformation
