Dave Elite Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Hello I'm new to this forum so hello to all. I recently had a full geometry done a buckley tyres. I'm still not happy with how the car drives so I have booked in at WIM to have it done properly. Anyway here is the printout. You're thoughts?

Tony Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Hello The workmanship is typical..... Poor...... It looks like the car is pulling left with a lazy steering return, the OSF has nearly twice the camber it should have and the sub-frame needs repositioning to correct the castor disparity. Other than that it's fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In you're oppinion Tony, is it better or worse then before? And why? Also do you reccomend poly bushes for the wishbones on an Omega?

Tony Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 It's better but the stock positions of -1 degree 40' won't work on the car hence the historic problems with inside tyre wear, plus most would say the castor cannot be adjusted........... but we can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He loosened both strutt bolts, and one guy pulled the wheel and held it and the other guy quickly did the bolts up with a windy gun, and then he said that will do.

Tony Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 For the wishbones yes, problem we found was the job was labour intensive meaning it would be cheaper to buy good quality wishbones than poly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Tony, would you reccomend Powerflex? The members in the owners forum use a generic bushing that i think comes from a BMW, it was really hard.
