Tracking?



  Mk2 escort clio cup
Hi all
I fitted my coilovers today happy with the drop and the ride is fine but I have an issue
The car is pulling to the right now and steering wheel is off centre
It was fine before fitting
I checked the camber to make sure it's was the same it was off one side set both sides the same it has improved it but still pulls and seems very twitchy
Could this of put the tracking out ?
Cheers in advance

In a word Yes.
Did you fit the 60mm hubs at the same time, and if not, do you intend to in the future?
Is your intention is to fit them in the future, there is little point getting a full Geo done as it will need to be done a 2nd time.
In the short term, you could unwind the inner tie rod a couple of turns out of the right hand track rod end.
It should straighten the steering up if it is currently left hand down in a straight line..

Haven't fitted the 60mm hubs as the shocks do both (and I need to replace the brakes so I'll do at the same time )
I just wanted to get them on
And see if it made much difference in ride quality etc
Just wondered if it would have changed the tracking as it's pulling and feels twitchy if that's the case I'll fit the hubs tomorrow and get it tracked

It obviously has changed the tracking, otherwise it would be running in a straight line.
Good idea that, change the hubs tomorrow.
If you don`t have new ball joints, unbolt the ball joints from the wishbones and drift them out the hubs/knuckles rather than damage the boots.
You can work on the brakes anytime without altering the geo.

Have you AST`s as they fit 54&60mm hubs?
