range for camber and toe on live axle?

[vs-lover]

Hi Losh and VC Comm,

I also read it as "he seems concerned about the rear" and that the front was corrected during the alignment.

What I don't understand is "10 minutes" ? doesn't he mean 10 Degrees when talking about Camber ?

As far as I'm concerned any flogged bushes will give false readings and sloppy diff positioning.

Also VC we're all here to help and some of us try our best and maybe sometimes we aren't all spot on, but there's no need to come across arrogant.

I thought he got the readings in less than 10 mins. Which I think would be enough time to set the wheels and measurring up on the machine. Adjustments i suspect would take a little more time.

Sorry but I didn't read it like that, what's the camber part all about then ? Toe 0.2 mm is absolutely bugger all and most aligners would let that slide on the front end. Actually if an aligner got the toe down to that he's pretty darn good as many allow much higher figures to slip past as they can't be stuffed chasing perfection.

Its a bit confusing. Reading it again it sounds like rear toe was 0.2.

A minute is 1/60th of a degree, so rear camber was a fraction of a degree. Which is what I would have expected.

P.S. they corrected the front toe only, as the other figures were on target. And I think it actually went round corners better with the excessive toe. Almost seems worth chewing up tyres.

Mine went in for an alignment a few weeks ago as it was out. 4 weeks later, when i fitted two new tyres it was out by 2mm again, which was what it was out the first time. I am wondering if the new bloke made an error the first time, dunno and may never will.

Yes I too have found that with a whacked out alignment that my lads car sat better. As soon as it was corrected, and it was wildly out I might add as I changed two tie rod ends and rack ends in the process and afterwards it was very flighty once corrected, but I get that as when one wheel is working against the other it will feel rather firm due to the forced pressure placed upon opposing wheels, but once corrected that force is removed and each wheel will turn unopposed.

Yeah well i still don't get why you are saying that the OP is asking about front wheel alignment, when what i read it as him wondering about rear alignment. Which I replied to the OP that rear alignment issues are caused by damaged or worn components. Yet you again, as you seem to do a lot tell me i am wrong i what i have posted. I don't get what part of what i wrote as being wrong? How about instead of pulling me down, you try and see what point i am making, or is that too hard? Or is it that you just like to create arguments?

Where have I said the OP is asking about front alignment settings? I've commented why they put rear settings on the report

Not being arrogent.....I understand people may not be spot on, hence my correction.....

And minutes is another form relating to settings

 

[losh1971]

Considering the fronts are worn and the OP is asking about rear settings, this wouldn't apply to his situation

This is what I don't get why you you posted. This post does not make sense from the point i was making. Considering I was talking about rears.
