 |
|
Measured front camber and toe on the Sud last night. Front toe was way out, at 17mm toe in when we usually run even toe. The cambers were also out but we have slotted struts so it can move sometimes a bit.
Now the thing is we measure alignment after each event and usually reset the camber a little but the toe is generally fine (has been for last 3 events). How could it be so far out?? Bent something? The arms all look good, crossmember is fine. Could the struts or steering arms be bent??

Probably you have bent something along the way... 
You can have a suspension arm looking like new, but with her alignement completly wrong. I had to change the arm that connects the body to the front arm, because camber on front right wheel was way out.
The arm looked fine. The bending was near the rear atachment point, and the pivot point on the body also had to be slighty knoked back into place.
Hope this helps
