I will be replacing the caliper sliders tomorrow, that's should then sort out the car pulling. Once that's done I may be able to feel the rear is out but atm I need to get the main problem sorted and move forward. Hopefully the latest reading by the third monkey is correct ? we'll see when the...

I had new ps3 fitted on front on Monday and at same time had tracking done, I immediately took the car back as it was pulling like crazy (the guy had to heat up the lock nut on tie rod which I found odd as track rods and tie rods about 18 month old, I fitted myself genuine parts) he put car back...

I have done the rear discs with bearings, gebuine renault parts around 18months ago, it has 2 x new febi outer anti roll bar bushes either side, passenger front has new genuine wishbone which came with ball joint already in and the drivers side I put a lemforder in at same time as I do any...

Go forward and attempting to correct my car, which shims woukd you go for and would you do so on both sides at the rear? I understand camber on road can make it pull slightly one way or the other but I really am having to counteract it to drive straight, I would say if the wheel is a clock i am...

The car had shim spacers on before I bought it so bolts are ok to remove!

So would you advise getting a shim for the rear?

HIQ (bush tyres) read out says caster is spot on I think, car definitely feels better after just being aligned for the 3rd time, does pull to left now though, but could it be the rear left camber being out? & is the camber effecting the toe? Thanks to you all for helping!

Right, I've had it checked again at a cost of £65! Didn't want to go back to kwikfit! Does this readout look ok? Anything wrong?

Absolutely pissing brilliant! I love going around in circles ?

I believe it may be the first option! They said they will check it again on their machine for free later today so will see how that comes out. Failing that I think I will go to someone who knows what they're doing, any suggestions?

Just to make things more interesting, I have just been to HIQ to check what kwikfit had done and I have this readout

Right, if I get camber bolts that will sort out heavy steering, shim for the rear to sort out the toe. How do I fix the front caster, in English please ?

Is that bad? I don't really understand most of what's being said ?

Seems ok to drive in straight like and now you mention it steering does feel heavy. How can I go about sorting this out please

What could cause it to be that far out

I have double checked and the wishbone is definitely 8200257956

To me it drives ok! Haven't driven another 172/182 though so I am probably wrong. This is why I started this thread as I would like to get this all sorted out Mike

Hi Steve, I have replace the front passenger wishbone with a genuine renault item which came with ball joint pressed in, I made sure it was for a 182 with cup suspension although haven't don't drivers side

I will get some of them on order, is there anyway I can sort out the front caster and/or the rear camber? I'm not sure if the front caster is set up like that from the factor as they're both pretty much the same

Will I be able to use the existing bolts or will I need the longer ones they sell Reckon I'll be a returning customer, didn't realise they sold as much as they do, the Mrs will be pleased!

Great, Thanks for clearing that up. So the shim won't make that wheel noticeably stick out. I've had a quick look on the internet and found puremotorsport, will it be ok to buy from these guys

Thanks for your reply, I will get camber bolts for front. Do I just swap bolt with the upper bolt which passes through shock/hub and leave the bottom standard Also, would I be correct saying with the rear it would then put it to +11 so that would sort it toeing out and the total toe will more...
