ok i set my tracking and the front wheels appear to lean a lot

i think your thinking about- camber
leaning in is negetive camber
leaning out is positive camber :thumb2

i would have thought that they are fixed at factory, some vehicles can be adjusted not sure about t2's..

its the camber angle.
mine lean inwards slightly because of the lifted front end but i had it checked the other week when it went for the mot and it was still within the given specs so they left it.
if you do need to adjust it its done by shims behind the upper wishbone.
if you look above the wheel at the upper wish bone you will see two bolt heads in front of you.you have to undo these then add or remove shims as needed.
glad mine didn't need doing as they look pretty rusted in there.

Tracking is TOE.

I think you mean camber ie wheels are

/ \ - negative camber

\ / - positive camber.


Details on how to adjust (using shims) and settings are in the manual.

or even baby kittens.....its more macho

if you do a search there is an old post by toolbox i think on the d.i.y way of camber adjustment.
i think he used a large square to set his up as close as he could.
as for using hacksaw blades ive read it on here somewhere that you can as they are hardened steel which is the key factor.

i'd leave it with negetive camber, if it's good enought for F1 boy's that will do for me, think how quick you can take roundabouts,
