[tur]

a friend just ot his bf xr6 turbo 4 wheels aligned, has 15,000km and they said his back camber could be adjusted properly it was out a fair bit.

He is the first owner never been in an accident never hit a gutter, what could his problem be? No Good ALigner?

Without discrediting the shop that he was at... Ive used 4 different shops to do wheel alignments this year and they have all driven differently... so maybe try another polace

He tryed another shop fixed and adjusted in 15 mins, other ones had no clue, he will be asking for a refund.

While we're at it, what is a good wheel alignment place around Sydney (preferably west).

Someone who actually knows what they are doing and not just do what the computer says.

I now use a tyre shop in West Ryde, Victoria Rd opposite the Caltex... they have done the best job so far... much sharper turn in.

Did they tell you what settings they used on it ?

I only had mine reset last month when I put tyres on it.....

Do you alter your wheel alignment settings for track days?

I just hit the track with a fresh alignment, same as for street... but, as I like to run through pot holes alot I usually get alignments every few months lol... stupid busted up roads!

Rapid any chance of posting specs of your alignment, and how is the tyre wear?

I have Pedders Extreme adjustable coil over fronts with pedders sports rider in the rear lowered.

The first time I ended up scrubbing the rears with approx 50% left on outside edge.

Had new rubber fitted went back, told them also how it wanted to follow the road contours since they installed,

The person who adjusted said it was out badly, and asked it I had taken back for the post adjustment.

I said yes and that they must have stuffed it up last time they set it.

Anyway it seems to be tracking alright now and driving straighter, I think my centre rear bush will also need replacing which may help driving straighter.

I agree there is many susspensions shops out there that actually know how to set these Barra's.

I have been fighting ever since I got the car.

Scrubbed rears bad with last set. 10,000 klm and stuffed. down to wire in the middle of tyre, not centre.. insides you know.
