A marvel of 50's style and 70's american engineering
In contrast the other side of me on site is a modern bang up to date american offering

Awsome spot today , people resore and you see airstream trailers alot as they are trendy
However seeing a lovely old airstream RV is a rare sight
Huge and no doubt horrendous to drive

Nice GT4 570s in my mates workshop for snagging when i popped in today .
He has the contract for all the Mclaren pre delivery paint snagging which always surprises me they don"t do inhouse.
While there he had his MG Jaques Coune ... its the car made by the Belgium company prior to the MGB GT...
67 is the 4 pot I am fairly sure and unfortunately loose all the character of the v6 N/a motor ..... wrong noise.
They are nice but unfortunately overpriced

I think that's a Kia UK car
The Head office is round the corner from our house and they run loads of Stingers on the management fleet and I am sure I have seen that plate

I drive a grand C-max 1.5tdi
Make of that what you will [emoji23]
And you told us the steering wheel is slightly off centre to go straight didn't you ?

Set it perfect , drive down a road of speed humps and catch a pot hole and check it again ..... you will then understand the slightly more cynical view .
However I do get you want it as perfect as you can
I have to start with a straight steering wheel as anything else drives me insane

Zach because the beam isn't actually miles out. Nor was yours.
Steve advised you what you needed to get it spot on but to say that shim had a major effect on handling with no other changes would be a surprise.
As Steve has said most hunter operators in general tyre outlets are not fantastic ...
You need 2 10' shims (10 minutes) and one 30'
The 30 sorts the camber and the 10's to even up the toe.
However do the caliper first as that will almost certainly be the offending item to it pulling .
If I was doing the rear shims and depending on when they were last done I'd fit new rear...
Nothing wrong in you Methods and Its always worth checking after changing anything with suspension as you can strip and refit and it changes.
One of the reasons the tolerances are quite large on road suspension settings are rubber bushes and ball joints they wear and give so much as they put up...
@Filters steveM is correct , as there is no steering rack on the rear the toe won't be affected . ( Caveat to that is a car with rear wheel steer like an old honda accord or a 991 GT3 though i have never played with either to see how the RWS is actually implemented)
the reality is the rear Toe will always be better to be straight , but you need to shim both sides.
honest reality is that worth the effort , i am going to bet there are clios with worse rear beams than that happily being driven and the camber of the road has alot of influence on cars pulling...
Also if it was full 4 wheel alignment , the car that was input will only affect the red/green indication as the machine will read what it reads it does not need to know the wheelbase (or not on hunter kit i have used or my own laser setup when i had my own flat floor setup in the workshop
Can i just add a few points here as there are a couple of things that have been said that are not actually correct. Adding more caster to steering makes it heavier eg a positive figure , reducing it makes steering lighter.
As for camber changing the steering weight , static camber of a large...
