Galant wheel alignment

[c-traxx]

Hi guys
Recently on a pot hole (i think) my wheels changed its alignment to this / \ and my tires get worn off on the inside of the wheel alot. Now the question is how to adnust the supension to get it right? Thanks in advance

The only adjustment on a standard car is toe. There is no camber adjustment. If your inner edges are wearing then I would suggest you have toe out on the front instead of parallel. If the wheels are parallel then you have worn track rod ends and/or tie rods.

I would say the say thing as nick, you have slight amount of toe out.
Just remember if you tell the alignment guys to set the toe to 0 Deg as the car accelerates forward due to the front wheels being driven the front wheels will naturally move to a slight toe out position due to the slack in all the ball joints in the steering arms. I set mine to about 1 Deg of total toe in to ensure you don't get toe out when you put you foot on the accelerator.
This effect is much worse in a front wheel drive car, and none existing in a rear wheel drive car as the front wheels are not driven. So for a four wheel drive car the effect is there but not a massive issue.
I think the factory spec is 2 Deg of total toe in.

I thought the factory spec was parallel?

As Nick says, according to my Hunter machine, the factory toe is 0.00 +/- 0°09

I did set mine, as on the image below, to 0°02 toe in on both sides (it was actually correct at 0°02 on each side but we had removed the steering wheel lock before I took the photo, hence it moving slightly to show more toe on one side than the other)

While we there, I mean you mention YOUR hunter kit, we (with @Davezj ) would love to come over and set ours as we want, after we do polybushed all corners it makes sense to set it up, if thats possible of course.

It's at my dad's though I'm afraid!

Doh, that what we were thinking, is too far then.
