[Omega tracking]

It just got worse.

 

I've phoned the local Vauxhall dealers who say it only needs weighting if you're doing four wheel tracking.

 

So there you go.

 

I just wish I lived closer to Watford.

Actually that's true?

 

The target data for the Omega assumes the suspension is preloaded... Most times this is not observed and the changes between the loaded and unloaded positions are easy to calculate.

 

 

Thanks for the quick reply, Tony.

I'm sure that it must be easy to calculate the unladen settings (if you know how, which I don't) but it does beg more questions.

Why isn't that the figure given by the manufacturer?

If weight is so critical wouldn't it make more sense to just load the drivers side?

After all most cars, most of the time, are only carrying the driver.

I've just had new tyres fitted on my Omega at my local ATS Euromaster.

(Michelin because I'm a fan. )

I asked them to check the tracking and they told me they can't.

I need to take it to the dealer or a specialist.

It seems that the car needs to be weighted. 70 kilo in each front footwell.

That's a new one on me. I've had Omegas for ten years now and that's a first.

Anybody any comments?
