Tony Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 What the hell has happened there!!...... OSF camber is over a degree, front toe nearly three degrees and they still haven't measured the castor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 MAKE SURE THEY MEASURE THE CASTOR........ Also if they are having problems adjusting have them call me and i will explain all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wahid is200 Posted September 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 thank you i really appreciate it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 No problem.... In truth adjusting the Lexus front camber looks scary because of what it does to the toe position as you can see from the last report but a 10min explanation of why this happens puts the technicians mind to rest.

wahid is200 Posted September 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Sorry for the late reply yes and yes it does drives much better thanks again mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Apart from a little wear on the front outside the tyres should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wahid is200 Posted September 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Hi mate sorry to keep bother you again but i have noticed that when someone is the back or on the passenger front seat the steering wheel slants to the left? Is this something to do with the geometry? Or me just being stupid lol i have had the car checked by 3 garages the all say theys nothing wrong with the car? THANKS ALL INPUT HIGHLY APPRECIATED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Reads more like a suspension issue.... With someone in the seat measure the body height and see if there's a noticeable difference each side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wahid is200 Posted September 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 hi and sorry for the late reply I did measure the body height the passenger front is 6.3cm and driver side front is 5.8cm that's from the top of the tyre to the arches thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Not suspension then..... With someone in the car and the steering off-line how does the car drive, in particular when cornering? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wahid is200 Posted September 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 hi the car drivers fine when cornering its only when trying to go straight it doesn't pull but it feels odd? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 As strange as it sounds we need to remove the tyres from the equation.... Simply move the fronts side-to-side and see if the steering position changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
