3.0i SE Alignment set-up

Zikim · Post by **Zikim** » Wed Aug 27, 2014 8:19 am

I had an alignment done in Southampton on a Supertracker alignment rig after having new Meyle HD front wishbone and bushes fitted and also new Meyle HD rear axle trailing arm bushes. The car now pulls to the left and feels unstable at speeds over 60mph.

The new alignment is-

LH RH
Front Toe +0.07' +0.07'
Camber -1.33' -0.46'

Rear Toe +0.12' +0.12'
Camber -1.57' -2.00'

The printout shows the following-
Wheel base 2500mm
Front track 1244mm
Rear track 1259mm
Front/rear wheels diameter 18"
Front/rear wheels Rim width 8.0"/9.00"

He said the difference in the front camber would act against the camber of the road.

Can anyone help with the problem, is it the alignment or something else?

Are the figures that he has put in for front/rear track correct and the same for wheel rim diameter? If not would this affect the "True"alignment?
I have 108 wheels fitted.

Im no expert but those camber figures are going to cause all types of issues, they shouldn't be that different!

This is mine:

Needs the M roadster alignment

Would the Z4MR setup stop the pulling to the left and the instability at speeds?

It will apply the correct setup, so yes unless there are underlaying mechanical issues

Will thZ4MR setup make it a more dynamic ride?

It's the 'correct setup' for your car - well unless the original buyer didn't want the M suspension

It has the Sport lowered suspension as all 3.0i SE have

Yes the M suspension - I'll leave it there...

How they thought that the car would be ok to drive after getting those figures, I don't know...the difference in front camber is ludicrous! Another example of all the gear, and little idea...

I use Denmead Tyres - a bit of a trek for you, but if you let them know you are an enthusiast, and engage with the staff, they'll look after you very well
