Hi all,
Does anyone know what a single turn of one of the tie-rods ends is supposed to equat to in "toe" terms? (i.e. how many mm's will the toe change with one turn). I was once told it was a mm a turn but have not found this to be so in practise, maybe I'm doing something wrong.
The car is a series 3 Alfasud...
regards,
jeremy |

I don't think measuring and alingning your wheels by yourself is such a good idea.... Getting them aligned by a professional is fairly cheap, and then you can be sure the angles are correct. I crashed my 33 and had to replace the lower suspension arm and the end of the steering rod. I thought the angles were fine after doing a few measurements, but (surprise!) they weren't. That adventure cost me a pair of front tires.... A complete alignment would have cost only 30 euros. _________________ It's an Alfa thing, you wouldn't understand it...
