G'day everyone,
I had a thread going in the Suspension section but though it might be an idea to start a new one here.
I'm having problems with scrubbing on my front left tyre outer edge since having a OME/Bilstien 50mm suspension lift fitted.
This issue has been covered both here an on 120scool - but I can't seem to get my head around what the best solution to the problem is.
What wheel alignment figures have people found to work best? Should it be different for different vehicles given the exact same suspension set up? If so I can't get my head around the logic of this.
I'm trying to gather some coherent data to give the guy at the wheel alignment place when I take the truck back later this week, just to give him some starting figures rather than "experimenting" with my expensive tyres.
I showed the "expert" the figures that steve_120 quoted, and he just mumbled something like "they aren't very good settings". :roll: I'm worried I'm just getting brushed aside by this bloke. There's also the option of taking back to my tyre place and paying them to start again, but that sucks when I paid the "expert" $110 through my local ARB dealer.
:evil: This is giving me stress. I just want it to work and not chew expensive tyres.
I'd really appreciate hearing others experiences and what worked for them, I know it's been covered before but it all still seems foggy to me as to what actually works.
So far I can find the following:
All these figures are making my head spin!
Thanks,
Drew.
