All cars are like that not sure why but never seen a car that doesn't have one wheel in more than the other

Ive heard its due to the diff being slightly offcentre or the subframe it self being slightly offcentre.

Car manufacturers never expected owners to be running wheels so close to the guards that you can tell the difference haha

I don't understand how any of this makes sence, the allignment tools have Indipendang levels in them. If its out, it's out.. Unless there is some auto correction when you put the specific car in..

But birds what you said doesn't make sence because how are they going to compensate for fat dream boats like me?

I think what Alex and I are talking about is the offset of the wheels to guards. Majority of the time, one wheel will sit out more than the other side. The camber setting would probably be the same on both sides hence why one side would look slightly different in reference to the guard/body etc

i dont know, its friday.

Well when I got my car alligned at Centreline...and mind you I have adjustable poly bushes on just about the whole frikken car...they corner weighted it and alligned it so that with an ~80kg driver, there is a near 50/50 side to side weight distribution and the camber sits about the same on both sides. Sucks when you have a passenger and can tell the difference though...

This and what birds said I think the thing is off centre so even though the camber is the same the actual wheel position is out a little bit on one side even although the camber settings are the same.

Shitted me with the 33, but no two guards are rolled perfectly the same either which probably doesn't help

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
