Rich Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Can the geometry affect how any other parts of the car behave, i.e. steering, suspension etc? Read a post where someone said if the 'tracking' was out it can be the cause of a knocking cv joint. I think it's rubbish but want to check?

Tony Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Not so much on a unmodified car and certainly not the toe angle. Lower the car, add wheel spacers or change the wheel off-set then yes satellite components like wheel bearings, cv joints, wishbones and steering rack can be laboured.

So camber and castor can have an affect on them but not the toe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Mainly camber due to the change in the sprung/unsprung pick-up point locations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
