Wheel tracking angles

Post by Ruical » Mon Sep 01, 2003 10:05 am

Just noticed that both of my front tyres are wearing on the inside edges [img]images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Going to get the tracking checked out by a local garage.

Therefore was wondered if anyone knew what the camber/castor angle settings are, with standard RS4 suspension set-up?

Just wanting to double check that the garage comes up with the same figures

If anyone can help, thanks in advance [img]images/graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img]

No idea, but if they use an optiline (lazer aligner) it will give you a printout with the recommended settings, the allowable deviation and the actual settings.
If they need to adjust it they should then give you before/after printouts.

If you want castor/camber doing too they normally charge extra for this as it takes longer to do than just tracking.

As a guide local VW/Audi specialists down here charge 115+vat for the full monty.

HTH.

Cheers,
John.

Think they use the Optiline kit, so will go see them today.
