Arnold Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Hi guys I've got quite a big issue with the handling on my Glanza. For ages the Meister Coilovers have had odd camber adjustments on them, one being neutral, the other positive camber. It's been like this for a couple of years and I've never felt completely confident with the handling, so I've stuck them both back to neutral. Now in order to go in a straight line, I have to have my steering wheel facing about 45 degrees left. I didn't think having both neutral cambers would cause this to happen, so anyone got any ideas why it's like this? If one side was higher than the other, would it cause this to happen?

morgey Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Had your alignment done anytime recently? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 IF YOU CHANGE CAMBER then tracking needs adjusting to if u had full camber and then went back to zero the wheels open up !!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arnold Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 Had your alignment done anytime recently? Not for a couple of years now. I've also recently had a CV Boot changed but not sure that'll throw things out? IF YOU CHANGE CAMBER then tracking needs adjusting toif u had full camber and then went back to zero the wheels open up !!!!! It wasn't full, only small positive and the other was always neutral, so I've only adjusted it slightly. Wasn't expecting such dramatic results Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kbond Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Any suspension changes you should check alignment Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 even weight in the rear affects front camber and also toe in/out .its mad but true.have my alignment done once a year for sure .if you dont can end up costing you more in tyres etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Well you deffo need to get your alignment done. The markings on the coilovers arent particular accurate as you have play in the hub to shock mounts. Get them to correct camber and toe (tracking) and if they can also even up the caster.

Arnold Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 Ok guys thanks for the replies. I'll get the new tyres ordered and get an alignment booked in CheersAl Quote Link to post Share on other sites
