Weyro Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Wondering what i should check/replace to fix this. Ive put on new balljoints but that hasnt fixed it. Ive got some track rod ends to go on too. What else could it be? Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steve-gers Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Tracking. Did you have it done after fitting ball joints? I would stick rod ends on aswell then get it tracked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 ^^^ thisAnd check tyre pressures Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Yes mate will be the tracking after changing the suspension. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Weyro Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 yea i got the tracking done when i put on the suspension and ball joints, tyre pressures are fine too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) Wierd mate is it just when your driving along normally? Did u re seats the springs? Who done the tracking? U find alot of garages do tracking and dont have a fucking clue what they are doing. Was it a tyre n exhaust centre by chance?

morgey Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Are you definitely on a flat bit of road? If you can hop onto the other side of the road and see if it goes the other way. Road camber is a bitch at times haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Weyro Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 Its when im on the motorway, definitely not the road, yea i reseated the springs and it was my brother who did the alignment, with a laser rig Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Patches Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 lots of camber on your wheels will make your car sensitive to the camber of the road, might be to do with that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Weyro Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 i did notice that there is a slight bit of camber on the front right wheel, is there anyway of adjusting this without buying topmounts? camber bolts? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Theres slight movement in the 2 shock bolts onto the hub. I normally lift the hub (put a jack under it to take the weight) then tighten them. It gives a little bit of camber but you want a little bit any way.If one wheel has camber and the other doesnt do this to the side with out and try it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Weyro Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 ok cool, ill give it a go, thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smobey_sutton2 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 What toe are you running? If your car is setup with any toe-out the car will tramline and follow the camber of the road a lot.Another thought.. Check your brakes, is one rubbing or sticking slightly causing the car to pull to a side? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Weyro Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 ok cool ill strip them down and clean them, hopefully get this solved before japfest, will suck having to constantly turn right to stay in a straight line for 6 hours lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Can easily tell straight away if one is rubbing/binding Quote Link to post Share on other sites
