My Alignment Print out - need some opinions.

[Tom_E]

Hi All

Just had my alignment done on the Hunter system, all seems well on the front and drives/handles well.

My question however is about the rear measurements, i know that you cannot alter the rear at all (they are set from the Factory i believe) but i am a bit suspicious of the camber and toe.

My 182 is currently on Sportlines.

I had new tires fitted on the rear 2 weeks ago and on Friday Fred fitted Lower arms inc ball joints, track rod ends and new front shocks.

I'm interested to hear Peoples thoughts.

Cheers

Tom

Bearing issue maybe?

They do tend to vary (sp?) iirc

That's something you could correct with a 1 degree camber shim. Wouldn't worry about the toe

Also forgot to mention that's had my rear brakes replaced a couple of weeks ago.

For reference this is mine I had done last Saturday.

Were the spacers fitted back behind the rear disks?

Yes mate, all appears to be well.

The only problem I have on the n/s is the calliper- the handbrake switch doesn't work. Not sure if that will unbalance the car when taking the readings? (Assuming they do it with the handbrake on)

 

[Fred@BTM]

no no handbrake when doing alignment! that's either a bent stub or a fucked bearing

Shame about the toe, would have been been great turning left...

+1, both my wheel bearings were shot, You'd be amazed how much difference new bearings will make.

arnt the bearing pressed into the discs though? new discs went on a few weeks ago! surely it cannot be them?

Were they genuine? Heard the non gen ones don't last long.

Yep Genuine rear discs & pads from Renault.
