Wheel Alignment ( toe in figures required? )

Post by Aunt Trumpet » Tue May 25, 2010 11:28 pm

Hi,

Popped into a local garage to enquire about getting the Bongo tracking checked as the 2 front tyres wear unevenly. They dont have the settings as its an import, so I need to supply them to them. Has anyone got these handy to post up for me?

Thanks in anticpation.

I have mine set to parallel, no problems in 3 years, here's the data you'll need - http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/ ... ng#p255282

Had mine set at 0 two years ago and just noticed the front inside inch has worn more than the rest on both tyres, swapped them to the back yesterday,will have to get it cheked this weekend. Will toe in cure it?

Just as a conclusion, I had the tracking reset to 0 (parallel). I asked the mechanic to make a note of the setting before he did it and it was " a total of -3mm " so i guess it didn't really need doing after all but never mind. :?
