    Tracking help

    Can anyone tell me what the tracking should be set at for the legnum VR4 (98)?
    I went to quickfit to have the tracking done and its not listed on their chart. I told them to copy the setting for the Galant but i seem to be still wearing tyres on the inside. Any ideas?

    is your car lowered??

    if so you got to much camber, which theres not alot you can do about,
    -you can raise it again..
    -you can get camber offset bushes to correct it a little.
    -adjustable camber kit, these are non-existant AFAIK

    Track should be set to parallel if I remember correctly. As stated if if you have too much negative camber from lowering your car then you will need an adjustable camber kit to compensate for it. They are available and there are several different types. I think they range from about £50-£200.

    Camber kits for the USDM Galants will fit the VR4.

    do the rears fit aswell, i was under the impression that the rear setup was completely different?

    you would happen to have a link to a few different types would you?
    is there any specific brand you recommend or any to stay away from?

    Try here:

    or

    http://store.racinglab.com/cakitac.html

    Eibach also do some kits and some very nice alloy wishbones.

    The rears will fit. They are the same setup.

    You sure on that Marcus? The front strut assembly is different on the 8G USDM.... Or are you on about using a '94-98 USDM kit?

    The car is not lowered, on the tracking charts most cars are set to something like +1.75 or something, toe in or toe out. I had mine set at the Galant setting.
    Does anyone know about this stuff?

    Now thats what i'm talking about, Thanks BraindG
    I knew it was more techy than line em up straight.
    My tyres are wearing on the outside so something isnt right.
    I am now armed with the info i need to pay a visit to the car fixers.
