    Tracking query

    Just had the car tracking done with teh lazors, doesnt need a full lazor allignment as its all in line, front needed doing.
    Slightly confused with the rear end though
    the rear camber on both wheels is 1.30 degrees, the rear left is green and good, yet the rear right is red saying its out allignment, they are the same, or are they ment to be different?

    I would spend an extra £20 and have the full alignment doing, since seing it done after a supposedly 'tyre place' aligned the front and it was so far out i will never ever ever resort to just the fronts aligned.

    personally, we never gave the option of just doing fronts!

    I know it's an old thread, but...

    Since 1.30 degrees is the upper limit of tolerance, if the left measured 1.298 degrees the display may round to 1.30 and still be within tolerance, if the right is 1.304 degrees for example, it too would round to 1.30 but technically be out of tolerance, perhaps this is where the anomaly comes from?

    Anyways, mine are at -1.49 left and -1.42 right on the rears... Everything else is well within tolerance, Is that symptomatic of an obvious problem?

    Cheers

    It just means your car is a bit low. The lower your car is the more camber you will have. Those figures are fairly even so it is nothing to worry about.
    If I'm replying to your thread and helping you out, it is because I like you and want to help out your VR-4 ownership. No other reason

    Cool, it just had a full tank of fuel too so I guess that's effectively 50kg extra in the back.

    Cheers
