I need to replace a bad t/r/e so will replace both ( about a fiver each from local motor factor ) and am in the process of making a basic ( basic ) tracking tool.
ours toes out from memory 1mm +/_ 1/2 a mm............so will "zero" gauge on front and compare with the rear of the front wheels..........thanks for the info as to pitch for tre threads..........
all it will be is a long unbendy tube with arms ( adjustable ) and "bolts" ( one fixed ) to "set" and "fix" the distance tween rims, then compare against the other side.......difference tween front of wheel and rear of wheels........basic so can take to "garare" for accurate setting without scrubbing the tyres away on the journey.......
the car rolls very easily with no pronounced "sharp feathering " of the tyre tread so must be somewhere near ok, even with the bad tre
will check and balance number of exposed tr threads as steering wheel is slightly off set to the bad tre side......hope I don't have to reposition the steering wheel.....
do you recomend setting the wheels parallel?? phase 3, 2 litre estate hdi 1999/2000 with power steering
