...mess up my cars tracking?

 

[DrR]

:bump:

Would recommend you get the tracking done after they are fitted.

 

[LeeP86]

yes it would change the wheel alignment

 

[DrR]

GGGrrrrr, oh well better get some lowering springs aswell

 

[ditz]

just fitting shocks wont alter tracking at all unless A the old ones are bent or B its fitted with camber adjusting bolts and you dont mark there location when taking them off.
if changing ride height it will though

 

[LeeP86]

it will change the wheel alignment just by taking the front upright of and putting them back on will change it, not by much but it will change

 

[DrR]

My steering wheels not straight either.

 

[LeeP86]

have you fitted them?

 

[DrR]

Yeah. One of the old ones was fecked.

if you dont dot mark where it was, yeah

 

[LeeP86]

no lol it will still change trust me

Ok booked in at Demon Tweeks, they said the rear adjustment can be a git to do? Now i thought the rears had no adjustment!

Exactly!!!

Slightly off-topic but on the note of tracking/alignment;

Does the same apply to fitting springs on their own, or even if you swap alloys over too?

My steering wheels not straight either.

Mine's nice and round :race:

 

[clionoob]

springs yes and alloys if they are the same size then no, if they are bigger or smaller then yes slightly as more pressure is put onto the rack.

 

[Tigger]

Cheers for that - looking at sportlines soon along with refurbed FF alloys (car was bought with Cup alloys)

 

[DrR]

Had it done and it feels alot better
