#3: Re: slid on some spilt diesel Author: tom2581, Location: wolverhamptonPosted: Tue Apr 09, 2013 4:32 pm ---- didnt know the back wheels could be tracked ?

No they cant, but there will be a standard angle that the rear wheels should be, if its out you've probably bent the stub axle pin.
A picture straight from the back would be good, so we can see both wheel angles.

Track it because a sudden change in the rear geometry will have to be accounted for at the front.

an what parts required would help lads cheers
#10: Re: slid on some spilt diesel Author: Steve206, Location: UKPosted: Tue Jul 23, 2013 4:13 am ---- New Axle would work out cheaper and easier probably. Have you had any tyre wear?
google sp engineering, they did mine.
#11: Re: slid on some spilt diesel Author: tom2581, Location: wolverhamptonPosted: Tue Jul 23, 2013 4:15 am ---- nope, no tyre wear at all , he said its only slightly out an doesnt cause any problems driving, its just nagging at me now cause i know its gotta be done
#12: Re: slid on some spilt diesel Author: iainlovatt, Posted: Tue Jul 23, 2013 4:16 am ---- are you on drums on the back? I have done the same thing twice! Found that i have split the case that the bearing were in. It was so bad (i thought it was fine) that the garage would not let me have the car back until they had fixed it! So get it checked out!
