I found a relatively local firm in Canterbury Treadmark Tyres, various forum reviews seemed positive & they had a great 'turn up and we can help' attitude over the phone.
They use an automated laser alignment/measuring system from John Bean - large 'T' style 'eye' which locates and measures targets on each wheel. A fay cry from the manual process I was using previously & a lot less hassle, the whole exercise came to under £40 even with camber adjustment.
Before and after settings pictured.
Only the front is adjustable, rear end fixed by the suspension arm geometry.
Not a million miles out beforehand but she did run a little lighter on the steering home.
Do need to check the diagram for rear right, i.e. the wheel image shows +ve camber, while the measured number is showing -ve camber. The back isn't adjustable anyway so not too much of a concern - I suspect they didn't even bother measuring it due to lack of adjustment.
Hi Richard
ReplyDeleteGBS have some new adjusters to replace the standard bushes on the rear to allow more fine tuning of the geometry. Maybe they could be useful if anything needs adjusting.beyond what is currently possible?
