help with tracking
pointy - 2/5/06 at 07:18 PM

I have booked an m.o.t. pre s.v.a but wonder if anyone knows what i should ask for the tracking to be set at. i.e toe in toe out??Luego velocity build.

Thanks

probably around a degree of toe in.

Thanks Joelp.

If I could work out how to shrink my pictures I would put one on.

Technology........Gimme a spanner anyday.

Doubt very much you need 1 degree. More like 1mm to in . In nearly 40 years in the motor trade I haven't ever set tracking at anything like that

Depending on your set up I would suggest around 3mm toe in.

Less if you are not on rubber bushes.

Surely mm measurements are meaningless unless you know the rim diameter? Also are we talking total toe or per side?

If its pre sva then what you set it do might depend on how well the velocity self centres. If self-centering is poor then they will want to be more toe-out/less toe-in.
