Alignment

Not a good job I'm afraid.

You're only supposed to put 14kg in the boot and then 68kg in each seat. You can see the rear riding low and the front high, which helps explain the high rear and low front camber. Plus he didn't bother adjusting over half of the values hence why only £45. The rear is untouched but would benefit from less camber and toe plus more closely matched figures. The front needs more camber and should be closer to each other. The front toe is reasonable but more than I would have.

PS: Looks like Mr Bean did it for you!
 
Thanks for your input.

But I'm afraid we will need to disagree....

As for Mr Bean comment.... Bet your no oil painting yourself?

:thumbsdown:
 
Steve's right, your weight distribution is supposed to represent a car with half fuel and two passengers, sticking all the weight in the boot will result in the F/R ride height being compromised, unless you drive from the boot that is. :lol:
 
I'm not trying to piss on your parade but you're wrong. There's nothing amiss with the machine, just the monkey operating it. The Hunter even tells them what weights to put where...

You can get a Hunter alignment in KwikFit by fools who don't even know how to adjust beyond factory settings or get a better result from a back street garage with some string.

£45 is par for two adjustments, not cheap per say. As I said you only got 1.5 adjustments as he didn't change the right front camber, just the left.

Your rear end needs some attention and better alignment of the front will give you a better handling car plus more even tyre wear.

I enjoy this stuff too which is why I've taken the time to learn more about it properly. If you want credentials I have a degree in mechanical engineering.

Only trying to help as you've not got a good result. I would expect your car to be quite prone to understeer? All my settings are within 0.01 of each other. It's no skin off my nose if you choose to ignore free advice. :wink:

PS: The Mr Bean comment was nothing to do with being ugly, just a passing resemblance and poor levels of workmanship. I'm about a 7/10 if you're interested. :wub:

B
Your also wrong...

Hunter system... Think.

Why do you say they are wrong? My buddy runs a Hunter system and correctly weights the Z4 in the drivers, passenger and boot?

Looks like this guy doesn't like good advice from people who have experience with the zed :thumbsdown:

Oh he's taken his ball and gone home ...

Interesting why in denial abiut it when the right thing to do would be argue why he is right or learn and go back and get the job done correctly.
