Anyone Know about Tracking?

Is it worth paying to realign the Right Front Toe?  

It seems a tiny amount.

Are they charging per correction then?  Your camber is quite far out..

There is no adjustment on the Camber, apparently (ball joints).

I'm just not sure how much 0.04 degress actually is?

It sounds a tiny amount to worry about.?

Hmm.. My Total Toe was out by 0*08' degrees and both my rears were out by 0*10', my front left was only out by 0*05' and right by 0*04' but I could feel it when driving...also the steering wheel was a couple of degrees off centre.

Fair enough.  If you can't feel it in the driving and your tires aren't wearing unevenly it's probably ok..

Well I've justhttp://www.mkb.cc/forum/index.php?action=vthread&forum=2&topic=11598&page=1#24\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"> replaced all of the tyres and the front right was very badly worn on the inside, but I think that is probably more to do with the Camber than the toe?

[Incursus]

How much are they quoting to adjust it?  If it's more than the price of a new tyre then feck it.

£49.99

I am sure I can shop around for a better price.

Still, as you say, a tyre cost £100. The ones I had on there were what the previous owner had put on and they were re-moulds. I had done around 40k with them until there was a noticeable issue with the steering due to the uneven tyre-wear.

As long as I rotate them, they should be good for a while without touching the tracking. The steering wheel is in the centre and it does not drift (unless the front tyre pressures are different).

Thanks dude. Logical thinking. :

misaligned 'toe' will wear a tyre just as much as a misaligned camber, perhaps more so as the tyre is being pushed across its tread rather than running in a straight line

Good link chap

Where do you go to get that analysis done?

My local place looks at me blankly when I ask about measuring camber.  

I'll need my front end re-doing after I've completed the rebuild.

[Cunning Plan]

That was Tyres Northampton..

[Cunning Plan]

Which is not somewhere I've tried before.

There are two places in Leighton Buzzard that use the same system....at least the print outs are identical to CP's
