hii

some of you may know ive got the wrc rep (tof)

i have a problem with the front wheels, not sure how to discribe it but they seem to be on a slant, tilt, towing in...

it has been the same with all the alloys ive had on it, on it at the moment are 17" team dynamic monza

ive took it to a few garages they say its not the tracking, but no one seems to know

any idea

I'm, presuming you lowered the car using shorter springs ??

If so you have to adjust the camber at the wishbone which you cant cos its

non adjustable unless you spend money on something like area 6 lower arms...

You need to clarify if you're talking about toe or camber. Both have different causes.

its got coilovers shocks on it, they were on when i had the car, so i think these can be adjusted, or is it the wishbone that needs doing sorry i have no idea im a women

i think camber, as the top of the wheel is under the wheel arch and the bottom is sticking out, both front wheels are the same.

Yes its camber is wrong cos the shocks have lowered the carand altered the geometry.

only option is to put up with tyre wear on inner edge or to fit adjustable camber wishbones.

Area 6 are the only company i know od off hand that make em

Heres a link to them

Or wind the shocks back up till you get to original height and camber settings maybe ??

nice to finally find out whats wrong with the car

you can diy a set of wishobnes to correct camber.

Yep ...

Grind the rivets off that hold ball joint on

then slot the original holes and use bolts when refixing

But Im thinking she may not have the tools ?

What's wrong is you've lowered the car far too much.

ive not lowererd the car it was like it wen i got it, as its got coilovers on shud be able to higher it nar,

Ok, I re-phrase.

 

What is wrong is the car has been lowered too much.

diy'ing the arms to adjust the camber involves moving the ball joint in anywhere from 10-15mm,this of course needs to be measured accurately otherwise you could end up making it worse.

 

or

 

to do it proper you'll need adjustable top mounts

 

or adjustable bottom arms as said above.

Just out of interest how far have you dropped?

 

Ive dropped 50mm on my MK6 escort with coilovers and I only have 16s, everytime I've had my car digitally tracked I've been well within the camber limits.

 

If you haven't dropped much it may not be the camber although it does sound like it but I'm surprised the garages you've been to haven't advised you of such.
