Wheel Alignment

Post by Coxieboy »

Evening. I have just had my tracking checked using a Hunter laser device and the front results are:
Left front camber -0.54
Right fr camber -1.21
Left front caster 7.12
Right fr Caster 7.03
Left front Toe 0.05
Right fr Toe 0.05
Total toe 0.10

Please note the . is actually the degree !

Can anyone let me know if these are ok or not - thanks.

That's fine.

You'll never get front camber identicle unless you fit subframe deadset kit and adjustable camber balljoints or top mounts.

Jay is it worth the deadset kit & adustable balljoints. does it make that much difference?

I definitely noticed the balljoints. I am running them at the most aggressive setting with -2 degree both sides.
On turn in, it feels sharper and mid corner grip is improved.

I also have Anti lift kit (console and the front-front wishbone bush) which all went on at the same time so it's hard to say that effect the ball joints on their own would do.

The subframe deadset kit is great for people who drive their cars harder and ensures that everything is kept 100% in alignment as the subframe shifting can effect the alignment as the whole thing shifts.
