Chassis aligment the fourth attempt..
After having fitted a variety of suspension / steering parts..Ohlins R+t, M3 steering linkages, monoball steering bushes, M3 trailing arm bushes, H&R ARBs, Meyle HD steering arms, Powerflex rear camber arms, front camber plates, I've had the guys fitting them re-align things, but not very well..the last guys got the ride height fairly well but I could see visually the rear wheel cambers were off.
They were so bad in the end I used a spirit level against the tyre wall and an iphone app to try and get them closer to OE spec. Having failed locally to find anyone up to it /willing I was recommended Automek in East Kilbride. Had a happy morning there today..top notch folks with state of the art kit and very very knowledgeable. As you can see (although the red colour is not necessarily an overall indicator) the front cambers were different, the front LHS toe was out not in and the rear LHS toe was massively out. Despite lots of adjustablity from the parts I fitted, we couldn't get the rear camber in on both sides without assymetrical rear toes..so we agreed to focus on rear toe and let the camber come out a bit. Have to say the drive back from East Kilbride down to Moffat and then past Marys Loch was sooo much better.. Next time I'll add the adjustable rear toe plates..
