Wheel Alignment - Gen Me Up


Recommended Posts

Posted

I had a full check on the Omega after having the front wishbones replaced. 

 

After the free check they said "it's all within spec"

 

After I looked at the print out I managed to get them to adjust Toe Front and Rear and Camber (OOF says 1 degree and 10 mins exactly not 2 degrees on one  side and 1 degree on the other)

 

30 mins later and an extra £45 everything was even both sides and the car was a different car to drive. Unfortunately this means I have more confidence in it and am using more fuel.

I took a car for 4 wheel alignment today, got there for 3, told it would be ready at 4, didn't get out of there until 4.50

Here's the printout they give you for £45, didn't drive any better than my guessed settings

Jaguar have always specified a bias to try and stop the car following the camber of the road with offset camber and castor on the front. Ideally you'd want that +0.30 on the O/S to be more like zero but I doubt it will do much harm as it is. I notice they didn't measure castor which isn't good seen as IIRC it's all adjustable on the front.
