Wheel tracking - Niall - 28-02-2015
Evenin'
Well I've just made a random purchase and bought my self a wheel tracking kit! Anyone know what the 306 should be set up to and ideally, what a Peugeot partner should be set up to.
Cheers!

RE: Wheel tracking - Niall - 28-02-2015

Good stuff mate. Might be interested in finding out how far out mine is.
RE: Wheel tracking - WiNgNuTz - 28-02-2015
Well played, should we just delete this thread now then, as it's clearly served its purpose.

Hm nice one, shame your far away, my daily needs doing "properly" really bad!

We've got a hunter at my work if anyone's ever near Bristol
Oh and ive got a lovely new IMI qualification in wheel alignment
RE: Wheel tracking - Niall - 28-02-2015
Connor reckon you have any digital guide available to you at work (autodata?) you could "borrow"?
RE: Wheel tracking - Connor - 28-02-2015
What do you mean? Do you need specs?
RE: Wheel tracking - Piggy - 28-02-2015
I have autodata bud
did it cost much fella?
RE: Wheel tracking - daddyfixit - 28-02-2015
0.30 mins in +/- 15'
or 2mm if you are metricated

Don't know if you have access to a list of measurements? Like I know auto data do massive sheets for tyre pressures of virtually all cars.

Thanks mate. It's £49.99. By no means a professional set up but recommended to me by the local tyre place who really know their stuff. Reviews say it is very accurate.

You're a star thanks mate
RE: Wheel tracking - Connor - 28-02-2015
Oh yeah I do, but daddy already sorted that out

Front camber depends on your diff and tyre setup. Actually toe depends on your diff too.
And check your beam, they are often not on square which throws everything out. I can't get mine to sit bang on straight at the moment, but it's not that far out at all.

I've had that before where seemingly my tracking has been miles out after doing beam mounts. Need to sort that!
RE: Wheel tracking - Connor - 28-02-2015
Thats the beauty of a hunter machine, can undo and wiggle things around a bit even if they aren't "adjustable" and be able to see what it's doing
RE: Wheel tracking - adam b - 28-02-2015
Yep we use one too - it's pretty much all I use there along with the corner weighting scales
RE: Wheel tracking - cully - 01-03-2015

I tend to just set the rod ends as close in length as possible, then track them 100% parallel.
