I wouldn't think so, not unless someone removed the fronts with a sledgehammer!!

[TAR]

has anyone come up with the 'correct' tracking figures for a Legnum yet?
There were a few recent posts about this but I don't think anyone agreed!

Mrs Wodj, just got scammed..

2 New tyres on the rear of her GDi, as it had failed on them on the MOT(and that was it) And then rotated fronts to rear..

Then they told her that as the wheels had been rotated that it would need tracking !!

When changing tyres or wheels ALWAYS have your tracking checked.

After thr RR meet on sat my journey on the way home was crap cus my tracking was out.

the previous howner had a new part fitted to the front passenger wheel axle and they did not get the tracking done, the result both of my tyres had the shoulders srubbed of them.

so today my tracking was checked and it was way out! dangerous in fact! possible blow out.

Tracking done new tyres sorted, now good for top ending.

Best be safe than sorry!

Tracking only costs a couple of quid though doesn't it? £7 from my local Walkers IRC.

Do 'em for all they've got Glenn, take them to the cleaners!

Sorry, but am i missing something? You say get the tracking checked when changing wheels or tyres.
Swapping them over will make no difference to the steering / suspension geometry settings as you're not changing anything geometry wise.
What you list would not have occured as a result of the wheel swap, but because parts had been changed over. This would be down to the person who changed the parts not being particularly thorough.
