Check Out My F*^$ Alignment

[_bobo_]

Okay well after seeing as how my 2nd set of rear tyres this year have lasted me about 2months with nothing stupid such as burnouts,drifting bla bla. i thought i better get it looked at, the previous set of tyres lasted about 5-6months, but were shitty tyres so i thought that was the reason, but guess not.

took it into the guys down at traction tyres to go over my alignment and see what could be causing this. The idiots who last did it down in FTG must of been high or something when they aligned my wheels.

The front is fine but heres the rear.

i have completely bald tyres if any of you have seen, and excessive wear on outter edge i think cant remember now.

but here it is.

camber left -2'01'

right -0'05

toe- left +10,4mm

- right+16,9mm !!!

TOTAL:+27,4mm

castor: left +7'03

right+6'21

and my front is fine.

only accident was when slid into a gutter in the wet which rear slided parallel and connected with gutter but had it checked and sustained no damage except for bit of gutter rash.

so guy at traction tyres seems to think that i need to replace

-Rear Right Hub assembly

-lower control arm

and may aswel do f/castor buhes & rear camber kit as they're worn.

although there are no significant signs of it being slightly bent, thinks its still out of whack slightly.

They have always done good work for me and many others. (Traction Tyres that is)

yeah alot of these deadshit places seem to think just doing the front is all that is required, whether they think they can get away without doing the rear because generally when you want a wheel alignment it's to do with the front or if they just don't know what 4 wheel steering is

i had the same thing, one side had 10mm toe out which i found out on the second wheel alignment a week after getting the first one done

yeah ive heard good things about traction tyers, so i thought id go there,

anyone know if 33 s2 gtst rear lower control arms are the same as the gts (n/a) control arms.

lol, nice alignment, my alignment for a bit was 30mm toe one side (front), and 30mm each side on the rear. that was after going through a tyre wall at mallala, went on to compete in the battles for the rest of the day too, thought the car felt a bit shit lol
