Tony Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 +1 -1 means the steering position is slightly L-H-D but this is not bad considering the equipment they are using..... Was you handled by them in a friendly fashion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it should.... You learn fast young jammy skywalker.... well i now a little bit about tracking mate..i got taught on a mk1 golf year's back and it was the 1's with single side adjustable track rod end,what a P.I.T.A they are to do also did my mondeo estate at a quickfit garage when they naffed that up if i could get a job just doing that and learn the geo too then id be happy as a pig in XXXX so should i be thinking about taking it back then to get the front put to o then or should i leave it as it is???????? It is 0..... +1 -1= 0. All this means is that to obtain 0 dynamically you need to hold the steering wheel slightly off-line L-H-D. The steering position now... Although bloody annoying is cosmetic.

jammy Posted July 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 well what a turn out lol.went back today and thay wernt goin to touch it again.but we had a little talk and thay asked me if i knew anything about car's and allingment. to which i replied well im a qualified maechanic and know litle about tracking etc but have an idea of the process! so i told him what i know......... told him i would have set the front to zero first to see how thing's looked.then even up the wheel's abit at a time to acheive the reccomended setting's which was prob the wrong thing to do.but i was alway's told to do this first as if you just put them straight on settin's you have 2 hope's of getting a true reading??????? so bob's your uncle fanny's ya aunt...it went sweet as and now the wheel is straight and drive's spot on so there must have been some rightness in what i was tought as a aprentise all those year's ago.... thank's again tony for all your help on this.......think i ow you a beer lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
