Should I expect a small rise?

our local tyre dealers give free tracking and ten quid for every corner needing adjusting, hunter computer thing, the rears do move, my old vectra was hideously out at the back!

Like i said, I'm not v clued up with this, but the techs told me its not the normal "old skool" tracking. Don't really know much more than that?

i read an old post on here where someones back wheels had become misaligned?sure i did, best get checked before spending on new tyres i think.

I'm under the impression is will all be taken care of.

(I hope) :naughty

i had mine 4 wheel tracked too, money well spent as the rears can move out over time. heres a pick of truck and as you can see the front is slightly low, but not by a lot. ive adjusted it up level with rear as raising rear by 1" and it still touches, but not enough to warrant ditching mud guard.

Nice colour truck btw :augie

 

[puddle hoppers inc.]

the best colour i reckon???? :thumb2:thumb2:thumb2:thumb2

 

[AlexD333]

You could be right sir

When they adjust the rear let me know how they did it??? as far as im aware there is no adjustment to be made :nenau
£62.50

may not need adjusting but there is no way a car would not have some kind of age wear and tear on bushes etc to not warrant movement surely? i could be wrong?

Yes your right about bushes wearing but there is no adjustment, someone looking at wheel alignment will not often start checking the condition of your suspension bushes!! best check that yourself and get the front tracked.
At £62.50 id want a full service included for that money :sly

:lol me likey.

Talking of service prices you'd be shocked if you could see some of the jag service costs. I think about 740/760 is the highest service I've seen so far.

And then when you start adding tyres at 350 a corner

"So even though the need to check rear wheel alignment is there, there's not much a technician can do if the rear wheels aren't true with respect to the ones up front."

You could add some form of adjustable axle stays if you really wanted to make the rear adjustable, someone will have done it on a terrano before im sure. :naughty

its the tiniest of rubs in all honesty it has only filed down the edge of mudflap, but that said i have raised it to just above factory since and it still rubs slightly. nothing to worry about. not really been in any real sticky situations as yet but as they are the same tread pattern and depth as bf goodriche then they should be just fine. obviously on road in the wet they will never match road tyres, but i dont really chuck the truck around anyway. ive done a LOT of mileage on these(maybe 15k since april) and no problems to report thankfully.

Tyres fitted this morning. Can't notice any rubbing?

nice one, pop a pic up!
