tracking measurement?

Post by Budgie »

As the heading states, what is the tracking measurement of a minor. I replaced a track rod end some time ago, [well a mechanic did] and he must have put it back slightly off the original setting as the inside edge of the drivers side is wearing unevenly!

1/8" toe in. Bit set both track rods to the exact same length first. Have to say - if just one edge wearing - it's more likley to be a camber problem. Also worth checking the eyebolt bushes (and the condition of the chassis leg) and the tie-bar bushes...
