Tracking on low cars!

[Struggler]

Can it be done without raising the car??

if i raise the car, and simply lower it back down after, it will put the tracking out!

im really not sure how tracking is done on car so not sure how easy it is to do on low cars!

the main problem arises because the car is a bit lower than low!

Will it be impossible to get my tracking done??
should i just face the fact that i will never have my tracking perfect??

take it to some were that has a hunters alignment system! they lift it up, on a 4 poster and no need to lift an dlower on the 4 poster, youll get a perfect alignment.

were are you based?

most tracking rigs are drive on/drive off, so not a problem

that looks properly low!

That reminds me...since having mine set-up the car still pulls to the left on certain roads...some roads its fine others it pulls left.

Could be camber of the road though?? Im gonna pop back up and get them to check I think.

When i do mine, i jack it up on the 4 poster, then put the gauges on then lower the car back down slowly making sure they dont get th arches. easy

Probably as the cars so low you have spoiled the ride and it pulls to the camber of the road, no give in the suspension, every bump felt and just a horrid ride, the drive shafts will be pointing North West too!

Google "stringing" racecars, its not hard just quite annoying

We string all our race cars at work. Not very hard to do, and by far the most accurate way in my opinion, as long as the group is dead flat.
